Abstract

This paper presents a novel technique to increase the quality of medical images based on histogram equalization. In the proposed method first we have applied a noise reduction method and then we apply some suitable preprocessing on histogram of the medical images and after that histogram equalization has been applied on the new histogram. Our proposed method in despite of its simplicity has better results in compare to other usual methods based on histogram equalization. The quality of resulted images after applying our proposed methods has been tested on a database (medical images) with a confirmed criterion by viewer. Also we have considered a mathematical criterion for comparing our proposed algorithm with other available methods for contrast enhancement. Results show the better efficiency of the proposed method.
