Fast computer processing for tissue highlighting in computed tomographic cross-sectional imaging and digital scan projection radiography.
A simple, fast, computer method of simultaneously highlighting edge detail and emphasising soft-tissue contrast is discussed. An objective comparison is made with conventional blurred mask subtraction using the signal-to-noise ratio from phantom scans. The use of the algorithm for inner ear studies and digital scanned projection radiography is presented.
