    This study introduces a principal component analysis method to differentiate normal and abnormal features in medical scans. This technique effectively filters normal patterns, highlighting abnormalities in brain imaging.

    Area of Science:

    • Medical imaging analysis
    • Computer-aided diagnosis
    • Biomedical signal processing

    Background:

    • Current scan processing methods struggle to differentiate between normal and abnormal features.
    • Accurate identification of abnormalities is crucial for medical diagnosis.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To develop a novel method for distinguishing normal from abnormal features in medical scans.
    • To enhance the detection of abnormalities using image processing techniques.

    Main Methods:

    • Construction of a specific orthogonal transform using the method of principal components.
    • Utilizing the principal component transform to selectively filter normal image features.
    • Application of the method to brain scan data.
