ABSTRACT:
In a method for the processing of radiology images for detection of radiological signs, an algorithm is provided to detect such radiological signs on projections as a function of their contrasts. These contrasts are measured by using the responses of linear differential filters with different scale parameters. The method can be used to color or enhance the intensity of the radiological signs detected as a function of their degree of malignancy. The algorithm may be applied directly to the signal given by the detector.
