Medical Image Visual Appearance Improvement Using Bihistogram Bezier Curve Contrast Enhancement: Data from the Osteoarthritis Initiative
Figure 2
Manifestations of contrast enhancement effect on MR image from medial, central, and lateral sides of the knee joint to represent overall enhancement impact on the stack of 2D MR images. (First row from left to right) Original MR knee image from different sides: (a) medial, (b) central, and (c) lateral. (Second row from left to right) BBCCE enhanced MR knee image from different sides: (d) medial, (e) central, and (f) lateral. Knee cartilage is known as (in red arrows with label): (1) patellar cartilage, (2) femoral cartilage, (3) tibial cartilage. Prominent knee features in this image include (in white labeled arrows): (1) femoral sulcus and (2) Intensity variation within cartilage.
