RIB ENHANCEMENT IN RADIOGRAPHIC IMAGES |
| 摘要 |
A method for radiographic imaging obtains a radiographic image of a patient's chest and processes the obtained image to generate a default radiographic image and a bone-enhanced image. At least a portion of one or more ribs within the default radiographic image is detected and a rib mask generated according to the at least the detected portion of the one or more ribs. The rib mask is applied to the bone-enhanced image to define masked enhanced image content that includes the detected at least the portion of one or more ribs. A composite image that combines the masked enhanced image content with the default radiographic image is generated and displayed. |

1. A method for radiographic imaging, executed at least in part on a computer, comprising:
processing a radiographic image of a patient's chest to generate a default radiographic image and a bone-enhanced image; detecting at least a portion of one or more ribs within the default radiographic image; generating a rib mask according to the at least the detected portion of the one or more ribs; applying the rib mask to the bone-enhanced image to define masked enhanced image content that includes the detected at least the portion of one or more ribs; generating a composite image that combines the masked enhanced image content with the default radiographic image; and displaying, storing, or transmitting the composite image. |
