New Image Processing Models for Opacity Image Analysis in Chest Radiographs
نویسندگان
چکیده
The aim of this research is to develop new image processing models that can be used to characterize single opacities and opacity density within pre-selected regions of interest (ROI). We derive our new image processing models based on the International Labor Organization (ILO) standard for assessing opacity shape and profusion. Pattern Spectrum analysis is used for opacity shape and profusion measurements. Opacity enhancement is done using a novel AM-FM model. We use radial pattern spectra to detect the presence of opacities within the ROIs, and measure opacity density. The opacity shape and profusion measurement results compare favorably with the ILO standards. The AM-FM model appears to be wellsuited for single opacity enhancement.

Evaluation of the Influence of Exposure Index on Image Quality and Radiation Dose
Introduction: The introduction of digital radiography has led to a significant problem in terms of dose creep. To address this problem, manufacturers have established a set of exposure indicators (EI) as a feedback mechanism to safeguard against overexposure. The EI is the measure of incident exposure to the detector that is directly proportional to the signal-to-noise...
