Abstract
Medical imaging can help doctors in better diagnosis of several conditions. During the present COVID-19 pandemic, timely detection of novel coronavirus is crucial, which can help in curing the disease at an early stage. Image enhancement techniques can improve the visual appearance of COVID-19 CT scans and speed-up the process of diagnosis. In this study, we analyze some state-of-the-art image enhancement techniques for their suitability in enhancing the CT scans of COVID-19 patients. Six quantitative metrics, Entropy, SSIM, AMBE, PSNR, EME, and EMEE, are used to evaluate the enhanced images. Two experienced radiologists were involved in the study to evaluate the performance of the enhancement techniques and the quantitative metrics used to assess them.
