OPTIMIZATION AND STANDARDIZATION IN MEDICAL IMAGE DISPLA

大多数医学图像在胶片上按强度以二维方式呈现 或视频等电子媒体。在显示过程中，将 将录制的图像转换为这些媒体上的可视图像时，无法传输一些 或记录的图像中的许多有用信息。我们建议 研究如何改善二维显示过程中的信息传递。 为实现这一改进，我们将实现以下目标： (1)开发和验证标准化显示系统的方法 独立于显示设备，显示驱动中的改变 强度产生一种可预测的感知结果，并优化 旨在最大限度地传输的对比度增强方法的效果 诊断信息。 (2)确定最佳的显示比例灵敏度 作为一项功能的医学图像或医学图像类别的呈现 目标清晰度和信噪比。 (3)研究图像结构对图像对比度的影响 医学图像中的特征识别。这项研究不仅将产生 成果是实现其他目标所必需的，但它也将 加深对医学认知过程的理解 图像可以在成像、处理和 展示。

Most medical images are presented in two dimensions by intensity on a film or electronic media such as video. The display process of transforming the recorded image into a viewable image on these media fails to transmit some or much of the useful information in the recorded image. We propose research to improve this information transfer in the 2D display process. To achieve this improvement, we will accomplish the following objectives: (1) Develop and prove a methodology for standardizing the display system so that, independent of the display device, changes in display driving intensity produce a predictable perceptual result, and one that optimizes the effect of contrast enhancement methods designed to maximally transmit diagnostic information. (2) Determine the display scale sensitivity that is optimal for presentation of medical images or classes of medical images, as a function of target sharpness and signal to noise ratio. (3) Study the effect of image structure on the contrast required for feature discrimination in medical images. This study will not only produce results necessary for achieving the other objectives, but it will also develop further understanding of the process of perception of medical images that can lead to other improvements in imaging, processing, and display.
