Contrast Enhancement of Medical Images
نویسندگان
چکیده
Contrast enhancement is very useful in medical image analysis that helps the physicians for disease diagnosis. The quality of medical images affects the analysis if the contrast of the images is poor. This paper presents method to enhance the contrast with improved CNR (contrast to noise ratio).

DIFFUSE CONTRAST ENHANCEMENT ON MR IMAGES IN BRAIN INFARCTION: \"PSEUDOTUMOR SIGN\"
The purpose of this study was to describe the pattern of diffuse enhancement seen on contrast-enhanced MR images in patients with subacute infarction. A retrospective study of 104 patients with the diagnosis of stroke who had undergone contrast-enhanced MR scanning within2 weeks of the inciting neurological event revealed 66 patients who demonstrated different patterns of contrast-enhanceme...
متن کاملDensity-Based Histogram Partitioning and Local Equalization for Contrast Enhancement of Images
Histogram Equalization technique is one of the basic methods in image contrast enhancement. Using this method, in the case of images with uniform gray levels (with narrow histogram), causes loss of image detail and the natural look of the image. To overcome this problem and to have a better image contrast enhancement, a new two-step method was proposed. In the first step, the image histogram is...
متن کاملQuality enhancement of Pelvis electronic portal images in order to improve treatment accuracy
Introduction: In order to reduce patient setup error in treatment field, portal images with treatment beam (megavoltage x-ray) are widely used. These images are acquired by electronic portal imaging devices (EPID). However, portal images suffer from insufficient anatomical information, contrast, and spatial resolution, because of the fact that Compton scatter is the main photon...

ABSTRACTBackground: Delivering the radiation dose to the target volume and minimizing the dose to normal tissues are the main objectives in radiotherapy. The aim of our study is to enhance the contrast of the portal image to increase the accuracy of delineation of the organs in the irradiation field. Methods: The software was written based on local enhancement of the pixel values in image ma...
متن کاملA General Framework for 1-D Histogram-baesd Image Contrast Enhancement
In this paper, a general framework for image contrast enhancement algorithm based on an optimization problem is presented. Through this optimization, the intensities can be better distributed. The algorithm is based on the facts that the histogram of the enhanced image is close to the input image histogram and uniform distribution, simultaneously. Based on this fact, we obtain a closed form opt...
