Medical Image Enhancement Using Edge Information-Based Methods
Abstract
Medical image enhancement improves the quality and facilitates diagnosis. This chapter investigates three methods of medical image enhancement by exploiting useful edge information. Since edges have higher perceptual importance, the edge information based enhancement process is always of interest. But determination of edge information is not an easy job. The edge information is obtained from various approaches such as differential hyperbolic function, Haar filters and morphological functions. The effectively determined edge information is used for enhancement process. The retinal image enhancement method given in this chapter improves the visual quality of the vessels in the optic region. X-ray image enhancement method presented here is to increase the visibility of the bones. These algorithms are used to enhance the computer tomography, chest x-ray, retinal, and mammogram images. These images are obtained from standard datasets and experimented. The performance of these enhancement methods are quantitatively evaluated.
