In X-ray interventional imaging, improved denoising enables lower X-ray dose and better visualization, resulting in increased confidence in the therapeutic act. This article focuses on the denoising of fluoroscopic image sequences in interventional cardiology. The challenge with these images is the need to preserve fine details in terms of size and contrast, representing the tools manipulated by the...
Segmentation of pulmonary nodules in chest radiographs is a difficult task due to heavy noise and superposition of ribs, vessels, and other anatomical structures in lung field. In this paper, a polynomial fitting based ray-casting algorithm is proposed for pulmonary nodule segmentation in chest radiographs. Instead of directly detecting nodule edge points, the nodule intensity profiles are first fitted...
This paper proposes an efficient dental radiograph registration algorithm using Phase-Only Correlation (POC). The use of phase components in 2D (two-dimensional) discrete Fourier transforms of dental radiograph images makes it possible to achieve highly robust image registration and recognition. The proposed algorithm finds correspondence points between two images using the sub-pixel correspondence...
An integrated and effective metal artifact reduction method named Metal Erasing (ME) especially suited to dental applications is proposed. Layout of metals is identified as metal-only tomogram, using its characteristics of X-ray opacity and simple image processing technique of binarization together with backward projection. Metal-only sinogram is calculated by forward projection of the metal-only...
