A processing method for enhancing the image quality of an image, more particularly a digital medical grey scale image, that comprises the steps of a) decomposing an original image into multiple detail images at different resolution levels and/or orientations, b) processing the detail images to obtain processed detail images, c) computing a result image by applying a reconstruction algorithm to the processed detail ages, said reconstruction algorithm being such that if it were applied to the detail images without processing, then said original image or a close approximation thereof would be obtained, the processing of the detail images comprises the steps of: d) calculating at least one conjugate detail image, and e) computing at least one value of the processed detail images as a function of said conjugate detail image and said detail images.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method to give an indication about the image quality of a digital image in comparison to what the expected image quality in terms of image content and technical image quality parameters would be for a similar exposure type. The method evaluates whether parameters of the acquired image such as noise and dynamic range match the expectations for the intended exposure type, and whether certain regions of interest are present and properly presented in the image.

Abstract

A method is provided for manufacturing a paper layer having a printed pattern for use in panels that at least include a substrate and a top layer. The top layer includes the paper layer. The method may involve providing the paper layer with an inkjet receiver coating by transporting the paper layer relative to a coater in a coating direction. The coated paper layer may be provided with at least a portion of the printed pattern using a digital inkjet printer that includes a housing containing print heads. Providing the printed pattern may involve using water based pigment containing inks. The printed pattern may include a wood motif having wood nerves extending generally in a nerve direction substantially corresponding to the coating direction. Providing the printed pattern may involve a relative motion between the digital inkjet printer and the paper layer during a printing operation in a printing direction substantially corresponding or substantially opposite to the coating direction. The paper layer may be maintained flat inside the housing, or the minimum radius over which the paper layer is bent inside the housing may be larger than 25 centimeters. The paper layer may be fed from a roll, printed upon, and rolled back up again. The inkjet receiver coating may be obtained from a liquid substance that is deposited on the paper layer. The liquid substance may have a viscosity of 10 to 75 seconds Din cup 4 at 20° C.

Abstract

This invention is related to a multi-scale image processing algorithm for enhancing contrast to noise ratio in an electronic representation of an image represented by a) decomposing said digital image into a set of detail images at multiple resolution levels and a residual image at a resolution level lower than said multiple resolution levels, b) processing said detail images, c) computing a processed image by applying a reconstruction algorithm to the residual image and the processed detail images, said reconstruction algorithm being such that if it were applied to the residual image and the detail images without processing, then said digital image or a close approximation thereof would be obtained. The processing comprises the steps of: d) calculating a local variance value for at least one detail image pixel within a neighbourhood of said detail image pixel; e) enhancing or suppressing at least one detail image pixel as a function of said local variance value and said detail image pixel value.

Inventor Nebosis, Rainer

Abstract

This invention is related to a supervision system that monitors automated movements performed by components of an medical imaging modality, in order to ensure that the moving components behave as expected, while identifying at the same time potential conflicts with (alien) objects or persons in the medical scene. The invention is based on the analysis of differences between measured distance data obtained by a detector that is mounted on the medical imaging modality, and a calculated virtual model of the geometric state of the modality components in the medical scene.

Abstract

This invention is related to a method to adjust the starting position of an acquisition trajectory of a mobile X-ray device that is to perform a portable X-ray tomography acquisition sequence. The invention supports an operator in positioning a mobile X-ray device such that it can subsequently successfully and autonomously perform a digital tomosynthesis exam. Alternatively may an operator provide visual input on a camera image on where he desires the tomosynthesis acquisition to be performed, allowing the mobile X-ray device to adjust its initial starting position autonomously.
