Analysis and Visualization of Medical Image Processing

C. Sunitha, S. Sathya

Abstract


Medical imaging systems have advanced in a dynamic progress. There have been substantial improvements in characteristics such as sensitivity, resolution, and acquisition speed. The interactive tools allowed us to perform image transformations, edge detection and noise removal, region-of-interest processing, filtering, basic statistics, curve fitting, FFT, DCT and Random Transform. Making graphics objects semitransparent is a useful technique in 3-D visualization which furnishes more information about spatial relationships of different structures. The toolbox functions implemented in the open MATLAB language has also been used to develop the customized algorithms.
