10x Coffee Talk: Image Processing Toolbelt

Описание: The discussion led by Kris Huang focused on key image processing techniques used in medical imaging, particularly in CT and MRI scans. Topics covered included histogram equalization, morphological operations, perceptually uniform color maps, and their applications in medical diagnostics. Participants explored how different image processing methods enhance medical imaging for better visualization, segmentation, and analysis. The discussion also touched on usability, accessibility, and the impact of color perception on radiologists' interpretations.

5 Key takeaway Points

1. Improves contrast and tissue differentiation in medical imaging, aiding radiology reports and FDA submissions.

2. Used for refining medical images, noise removal, contour enhancements, and radiation oncology treatment planning.

3. Prevents visual artifacts and blind spots, with Viridis/Inferno for PET scans and grayscale for CT/MRI being preferred.

4. Techniques like histogram normalization and morphological operations improve deep learning model performance.

5. Colorblind-friendly design and avoiding color-only indicators enhance usability and risk management in medical applications.
