In intensive care units (ICUs), supporting devices play an important role, and the placement
of these devices must be accurate, such as catheters and tubes. Taking portable chest …

Because of the large difference of the densities in the lung and other structures, the chest x-
ray image behaves as a wide-range intensity distribution, which brings on a bit of difficulty to …

Portable chest radiography (CXRs) now widely used in intensive care unit (ICU) and
performed on the patients who need best diagnostic tools. Nevertheless, these CXRs are …

Chest radiography is a common diagnostic imaging test, which contains an enormous
amount of information about a patient. However, its interpretation is highly challenging. The …

Objectives To prospectively evaluate dose reduction and image quality characteristics of
chest CT reconstructed with model-based iterative reconstruction (MBIR) compared with …

A pulmonary nodular shadow on a chest radiographic image is characteristic of lung cancer.
However, nodular shadows often appear with very weak contrast. The target nodule shadow …

Postprocessing of the image data is an exciting capability of digital radiography that may
improve diagnostic performance. We present a new algorithm that selectively enhances …

Portable chest radiographs (CXRs) are commonly used in the intensive care unit (ICU) to
detect subtle pathological changes. However, exposure settings or patient and apparatus …

The enhancement of lung nodules in chest radiographs (CXRs) plays an important role in
the manual as well as computer-aided detection (CADe) lung cancer. In this paper, we …

We propose a technique for automatic, anatomically selective, artifact-free enhancement of
digital chest radiographs. Anatomically selective enhancement is motivated by the different …
