An adaptive system for quality improved digitalization of medical images

Abstract

Medical images are an important part of the modern diagnostic process of many diseases. The low quality of images is one of the reasons for hypo- or hyper-diagnosis as a result of incorrect deciphering. One of the image applications is to track changes in patients’ organs and tissues over time. Screen-films and direct exposure films are part of medical image sources. The proposed paper presents a prototype of a new generation of medical image fil digitizer. The characteristics of such an apparatus and the necessary technologies for its implementation are considered.
