SimpleITK for Medical Image Processing
Hello Reader,
Welcome to another edition of PYCAD newsletter where we cover interesting topics in Machine Learning and Computer Vision applied to Medical Imaging. The goal of this newsletter is to help you stay up-to-date and learn important concepts in this amazing field! I've got some cool insights for you below ↓
Image Processing Algorithms with SimpleITK
SimpleITK is one of my favorite libraries to deal with medical imaging data.
Here are 4 image processing algorithms that are already implemented in SimpleITK and that are ready to use for your next medical imaging project.
1 - Smoothing (Noise Reduction)
Gaussian smoothing can be used to reduce noise in an image. The degree of smoothing is determined by the Gaussian kernel size (standard deviation).
2 - Contrast Enhancement
Histogram equalization can be used to adjust image intensities to enhance contrast.
3 - Edge Enhancement
Edge enhancement can help to highlight the edges within an image, which can be particularly useful in enhancing the boundaries of structures.
4 - Denoising
Non-local means denoising is a more sophisticated method that can be used to reduce noise while preserving edges
Below you can see a sample code on how to apply these image processing techniques using SimpleITK.
