X-ray radiography is commonly used in (NDT) Non-destructive Testing, for identifying defects in weld. When the X-ray is passed through the weld object, the area where the defects are occurred will be having different intensity profile, than the nearby pixels. Most of the X-ray radiographic images will be having some forms of noise components embedded in it. Median filter is applied for noise re...

  Purpose: To recognize affective factors in delivering X-ray contrast agents (which have high atomic number) via gallium carrier to liver or lymphatic neoplasm cells.   Materials and Methods: Since uptake of gallium by liver has been reported in numerous researches, it was bonded with a contrast media (metrizoate). X-ray imaging was done to determine geometric features of liver.   Results: Rad...

OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to evaluate the detection of enamel-dentin occlusal caries using photostimulable phosphor plates. MATERIAL AND METHODS The ability to detect enamel-dentin occlusal caries in 607 premolars and molars from 47 patients between 10 and 18 years old, referred to the School of Dentistry of the Federal University of Bahia, Brazil, was evaluated based on clinical a...

This paper presents a new automatic image enhancement method by modifying the gamma value of its individual pixels. Most of existing gamma correction methods apply a uniform gamma value across the image. Considering the fact that gamma variation for a single image is actually nonlinear, the proposed method locally estimates the gamma values in an image using support vector machine. First, a dat...

in this paper a novel fuzzy scheme for medical x-ray image classification is presented. in this method, any image is partitioned in to 25 overlapping subimages and then shape-texture features are extracted from shape and directional information extracted from any subimage. in the classification stage, we apply a fuzzy membership to any subimage with respect to euclidean distance between feature...

Early breast cancer in women can be detected efficiently, by processing Mammograms in an effective way. Mammographic images are affected by noise which has low contrast and poor radiographic resolution based on illperformance of X-ray hardware systems. This leads to improper visualization of lesion detail. Generally Non-linear filters are preferred for image enhancement applications. Because th...

Digital dental radiographic imaging is considered to be as diagnostically accurate as conventional film-based radiography. In addition, many digital radiographic systems offer various image enhancements that may aid in image interpretation. However, neither type of radiographic imaging technique perfectly correlates radiographic diagnoses with clinical findings. Moreover, visual digital enhance...
