Optimal scanning, display, and segmentation of the International Labor Organization (ILO) X-ray images set for pneumoconiosis

Abstract

A method for scanning und displa,ving c h i radiogruphs (i-rajo) is presented.

Biomarkers in occupational diseases: modern approaches to pneumoconiosis diagnostics

“…Натепер основним визнаним методом діагностики пневмоконіозу є рентгенологічний [11][12][13]. Сьогодні визначені основні та другорядні критерії рентгенологічної діагностики захворювання згідно з Міжнародною класифікацією МОП 2000 року [14].…”

Recent multiscale AM-FM methods in emerging applications in medical imaging

“…An AM-FM method for grading chest radiographs according to the ILO standards is presented in [67,68] by Murray et al Related work, by different research groups, can be found in [102][103][104][105][106][107][108]. First, a logarithmic transformation to the images is applied to improve the contrast of the X-Rays [109]. Then, the AM-FM estimates of each X-Ray image is encoded using their histograms as described in the Section 2.4.1 using the tuned bandpass filters and scales showed in Tables 1 and 2.…”
