Abstract

Quality of medical image has an important role in constructing right medical diagnosis. This paper recommends a method to improve the quality of medical images by increasing the size of the image pixels. By increasing the size of pixels, the size of the objects contained therein is also greater, making it easier to observe. In this study medical images of Brain CT-Scan, Chest X-Ray and Panoramic X-Ray were processed using Line-Column Interpolation (LCI) Method. The results of the treatment are then compared to Nearest Neighbor Interpolation (NNI), Bilinear Interpolation (BLI) and Bicubic Interpolation (BCI) processing results. The experiment shows that Line-Column Interpolation Method produces a larger image with details of the objects in it are not blurred and has equal visual effects. Thus, this method is expected to be a reference material in enlarging the size of the medical image for ease in clinical analysis.

Abstract

The Region of interest (ROI) of the fundus photography is an important task in medical image processing. It contains a lot of information related to the diagnosis of the retinal disease. So the determination of this ROI is a very influential first step in fundus image processing later. This research proposed a threshold method of segmentation to determine ROI of the fundus photography automatically. Data to be elaborated were the fundus photography’s of 13 patients, captured using Nonmyd7 camera of Kowa Company Ltd in Dr. M. Djamil Hospital, Padang. The results of this processing could determine ROI automatically. The automatic cropping successfully omits as much as possible the non-medical areas shown as darkbackground, while still maintaining the whole medical areas, comprised the posterior pole of retina captured through the pupil. Thus, this method is  helpful in further image processing of posterior areas. We hope that this research will be useful for researchers.

Abstract

Panoramic X-Ray produces produces the most common oral digital radiographic image that it used in dentistry practice. The image can further improve accuracy compared to analog one. This study aims to establish proximal caries edge on enhancement images so they can be easily recognized. The images were obtained from the Department of Radiology, General Hospital of M. Djamil Padang Indonesia. Total file of images to be tested were 101. Firstly, the images are analyzed by dentists who practiced at Segment Padang Hospital Indonesia. They concluded that there is proximal caries in 30 molar teeth. Furthermore, the images were processed using Matlab software with the following steps, i.e. cropping, enhancement, edge detection, and edge enhancement. The accuracy rate of detection of edge enhancement images being compared with that of dentist analysis was 73.3%. In the edge enhancement images proximal caries edge can be found conclusively in 22 teeth and dubiously in eight teeth. The results of this study convinced that edge enhancement images can be recommended to assist dentists in detecting proximal caries.
