FILTERING OF RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGES WITH PHOTOGRAPHIC TECHNIQUES

Abstract

Image processing by optical filtering technique is applied for enhancement of radiologic images. Generally, special techniques and equipment are required for this purpose. But the photographic masking method is practical because special equipment is not required. In this study, the masking method was investigated enhance radiologic images. The form of filters were examined and X-Ray pictures were processed by high-pass or band-pass filters. By those processed, details of bone structure, vessels and so on were clearer and sharper then original images.
