Processing
Introduction
PRE-MEDICAL IMAGE
PROCESSING
It is the use and study of 3D image and data
sets of human body obtained most commonly
from CT scan or MRI scanner to diagnose
pathologies or guide medical interventions such
as surgical planning or for research purposes.
Basic Steps in
Pre-medical Image
Processing
1. IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION
Image Reconstruction it is fundamental impact on
the image quality, then on radiation dose it is
desirable to reconstruct image with the lowest
possible noise without reduction image accuracy and
structural resolution.
Two Categories
of Image
Reconstruction
1. Analytical Reconstruction
2. Iterative Reconstruction
2. BACKGROUND REMOVAL
• The background removal a digital image
processing procedure that can be used to
classify parts of an im- age in terms of unwanted
and interest region image that may include pure
background that does not overlap with any dense
anatomical parts by limiting the image to the
region of interest.
3. NOISE REMOVAL
 MEDIAN FILTER
The Median filter is the popular known order-
statistic filter in digital image processing.
WEINER FILTER (WF)
• The goal of the Weiner filter is to remove the
noise or filter out the noise that has corrupted a
signal.
 GAUSSIAN FILTER
• Speckle Noise is typical noises which is caused
due to internal or external factor and are
generally present in the digital images and MRI
images. Gaussian filter is implemented to remove
the Speckle Noise present in ultra sound images
or MRI brain images.
4. IMAGE COMPRESSION
• To reduce the data volume and to achive a low bit
rate in the digital representation of radiologic
images without perceived loss of image quality.
ORIGINAL IMAGE TRANSFORMED

• The original image is a

IMAGE
• The transformed image F(u, v) of
medical image f(x, y) in the original image f(x, y) after a
digital form, where f is a mathematical transformation is
nonnegative integer another 2-D array. If the
function, and x and y can transformation is the forward
be from 0 to 255, 0 to 511, discrete cosine transform, then u,
0 to 1023, and 0 to 2047. v are nonnegative integers
representing the frequencies.
COMPRESSED IMAGE RECONSTRUCTED IMAGE FROM A

FILE COMPRESSED IMAGE FILE

• The reconstructed image from a
• Image file is a 1-D array of
compressed image file is a 2-D
encoded infor- mation
rectangular array fc(x, y) or a 3-D
derived from the original
data block fc(x, y, z). The
or the transformed image
technique used for the
by an image compression
reconstruction (or decoding)
technique.
depends on the method of
compression.
DEFFERENCE IMAGE
• The difference between the
original image and the
reconstructed image. The amount
of the difference depends on the
compression technique used as
well as the compression ratio: the
less the difference, the closer the
reconstructed image to the
original.
COMPRESSION RATIO
• The compression ratio between
the original image and the com-
pressed image file is the ratio
between computer storage
required to save the orig- inal
image and that of the compressed
data.
