|June 1, 1986
Summary
Medical image processing faces challenges with diverse formats and display systems. This paper defines essential primitives for raster displays, enabling standardized image viewing and processing across different devices.
Area of Science:
- Computer Science
- Medical Imaging
- Image Processing
Background:
- Medical image processing is hindered by varied image formats and incompatible display systems.
- Standardized viewing and processing of medical images remain a significant challenge.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define a minimal set of primitives for utilizing any raster display.
- To describe raster display characteristics from a programmer's perspective.
- To identify necessary hardware and software data for implementing display primitives.
Main Methods:
- Defining a small, universal set of programming primitives.
- Specifying the essential hardware and software data required for raster display implementation.
Main Results:
- A defined set of primitives allows for the utilization of any raster display.
- Implementation of these primitives enables a standard set of image display programs.
- This facilitates consistent viewing of images and processing results.
Conclusions:
- A standardized approach to raster display primitives can overcome medical image processing format and display compatibility issues.
- This framework supports the development of universal image display and processing tools.
