Contusion (bruise) segmentation & diagnosis: A graphical user interphase approach

Abstract

The medical field has been turning to technology to provide new treatments, techniques, and protocol. Over the past decade the industry has become heavily reliant on technology to vastly improve medical care. With the help of modern image processing techniques diagnosis of many illnesses have been improved as well as preparation for surgical procedures such as tumor removal have become more effective and have led to better outcomes. Although there has been a significant impact in these areas there are still many treatment areas that could benefit with the help of image processing techniques. One such area is contusion (bruise) diagnosis and treatment. This paper presents two graphical user interface technologies that could help medical professionals more effectively diagnosis and treat patient's bruising.
