Contrast Enhancement of Medical Images: A Review
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper studies various research contributions in the field of contrast enhancement of medical images. Medical images such as X-rays, ultrasound and others are used in the analysis and diagnosis process by physicians and radiologists. If the image quality is not good and contrast is poor then the diagnosis result is badly affected. Therefore, this paper attempts to review the research papers on contrast enhancement and recommend some viable solution to the challenges in existing research works.

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...

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...
