Abstract:
This article aims at solving one of the most important issues of computer-based interpretation of medical images for diagnosis purposes – obtaining the maximum authentic image, which then can be processed by computer-assisted diagnosis methods. The article offers a new approach to the problem of the X-ray plate digitalization – namely increasing the quality and the quantity of information obtained from the X-ray plate by creating a model of the plate illumination while an X-ray image is being created. The implementation of the presented method is based on the theory of high dynamic range images. Increase and enhancement of human perception of X-ray plates and possibilities to diagnose more precisely many sicknesses are the final result of this work.
