The X-linked hypophosphatemic (XLH) rickets is a rare hereditary metabolic d...

The Panoramic Dental X-ray image is an important tool for a thorough dental examination. These X-ray images suffer from poor contrast because of the luminance non-linearity introduced by medical imaging techniques. Hence an automatic method of image enhancement of panoramic X-ray image is essential. A novel method of improving the quality of these images is determined based on gamma correction ...
