Optical Fourier techniques for medical image processing and phase contrast imaging.
This paper briefly reviews the basics of optical Fourier techniques (OFT) and applications for medical image processing as well as phase contrast imaging of live biological specimens. Enhancement of microcalcifications in a mammogram for early diagnosis of breast cancer is the main focus. Various spatial filtering techniques such as conventional 4f filtering using a spatial mask, photoinduced p...
متن کاملNonlinear optical Fourier filtering technique for medical image processing.
Real-time nonlinear optical Fourier filtering for medical image processing is demonstrated, exploiting light modulating characteristics of thin films of the biophotonic material bacteriorhodopsin (bR). The nonlinear transmission of bR films for a 442 nm probe beam with a 568 nm control beam and vice versa is experimentally studied in detail. The spatial frequency information carried by the blue...
متن کاملT1ρ imaging: Techniques and Basis for Image Contrast
Introduction Nuclear spin relaxation plays a key role in imparting image contrast in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Traditionally, T1 (spin-lattice relaxation) and T2 (spin-spin relaxation) relaxation times and magnetization transfer (MT) contrast are exploited to better visualize a given tissue in a specific pathology. In recent years, T1ρ (spin-lattice relaxation in the rotating frame) is ...
متن کاملA Review of Medical Image Enhancement Techniques for Image Processing
Image Enhancement is one of the most important and complex techniques in image processing technology. The main aim of image enhancement is to improve the visual appearance of an image, or to offer a “better transform representation of the image. Various types of images like medical images, satellite images, aerial images and real life photographs suffer from different problems like poor contras...
متن کاملTechniques and software architectures for medical visualisation and image processing
This work presents an extension of shell rendering that is more flexible and yields higher quality volume renderings. Shell rendering consists of efficient data-structures and methods to manipulate and render structures with non-precise boundaries in volume data. We have updated these algorithms by creating an implementation that makes effective use of ubiquitously available commercial graphics...
