Abstract:
State-of-the-art image-processing methods offer new possibilities for diagnosing diseases using scattered light. The optical diagnosis of rheumatism is taken as an example to show that the diagnostic sensitivity can be improved using overlapped pseudocolored images of different wavelengths, provided that multispectral images are recorded to compensate for any motion-related artefacts that occur during examination.
