ABSTRACT:
The contrast of an image is enhanced by converting the digital signal representation of the image according to a conversion function that is derived from a parameterized conversion function q(x) by giving specific values to the parameters of the function. Specific values for parameters that depend on the examination type to which the image relates are exclusively derived from the digital signal representation itself. No input of examination type dependent parameters is required.
