Multimodal medical image fusion is the process of retrieving valuable information from medical images. The primary goal of medical image fusion is to combine several images obtained from various sources into a distinct image suitable for improved diagnosis. Complexity in medical images is higher, and many soft computing methods are applied by researchers to process them. Intuitionistic fuzzy sets are more appropriate for medical images because the images have many uncertainties. In this paper, a new method, based on Sugeno's intuitionistic fuzzy set (SIFS), is proposed. First, medical images are converted into Sugeno's intuitionistic fuzzy image (SIFI). An exponential intuitionistic fuzzy entropy calculates the optimum values of membership, non-membership, and hesitation degree functions. Then, the two SIFIs are disintegrated into image blocks for calculating the count of blackness and whiteness of the blocks. Finally, the fused image is rebuilt from the recombination of SIFI image blocks. The efficiency of the use of SIFS in multimodal medical image fusion is demonstrated on several pairs of images and the results are compared with existing studies in recent literature.

This paper proposed a versatile algorithm based on a dual-tree complex wavelet transform for intensifying the visual aspect of medical images. First, the decomposition of the input image into a high sub-band and low-sub-band image is done. Further, to improve the resolution of the resulting image, the high sub-band image is interpolated using Lanczos interpolation. Also, contrast enhancement is performed by singular value decomposition (SVD). Finally, the image reconstruction is achieved by using an inverse wavelet transform. Then, the Gaussian filter will improve the visual quality of the image. We have collected images from the hospital and the internet for quantitative and qualitative analysis. These images act as a reference image for comparing the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm with the existing state-of-the-art. We have divided the proposed algorithm into several stages: preprocessing, contrast enhancement, resolution enhancement, and visual quality enhancement. Both analyses show the proposed algorithm's effectiveness compared to existing methods.

A medical image workstation was developed using multimedia technique. The system based on PC-486DX was designed to acquire medical images produced by medical imaging instruments and related audio information, that is, doctors' reporting results. Input information was processed and analyzed, then the results were presented in the form of graph and animation. All the informations of the system were hierarchically related with the image as the apex. Processing and analysis algorithms were implemented so that the diagnostic accuracy could be improved. The diagnosed information can be transferred for patient diagnosis through LAN(local area network).

기존의 필름 X-Ray 및 CCD(Charge Coupled Device) 방식은 공간적인 제약과 진단 시간이 많이 걸리는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존 방식들의 단점을 보완할 수 있는 TFT-DXD 방식의 digital X-ray detector (DR1000C)를 이용한 고효율 의료 영상처리시스템을 구현하였다. 본 논문에서 제안하는 DR1000C를 이용한 의료용 영상처리시스템은 기존의 X-Ray 방식에 비해 공간 효율성이 높고 진단 시간이 짧아진다는 장점이 있다. 영상처리시스템에서 획득한 영상을 고화질로 만들기 위해 1900*1200의 해상도를 가지는 LCD 컨트롤 드라이버를 개발하였고, 영상의 성능향상을 위해 enhancement unsharp masking 기법을 제안하여, 기존의 방식과 비교하였다.

AI or Artificial Intelligence has been a significant tool used in the organisational backgrounds for an effective improvement in the management methods. The processing of the information and the analysis of the data for the further achievement of heightened efficiency can be performed by AI through its data analytics measures. In the medical field, AI has been integrated for an improvement within the management of the medical services and to note a rise in the levels of customer satisfaction. With the benefits of reasoning and problem solving, AI has been able to initiate a range of benefits for both the consumers and the medical personnel. The main benefits which have been noted in the integration of AI would be integrated into the study. The issues which are noted with the integrated AI usage for the medical sector would also be identified in the study. Medical Image Processing has been seen to integrate 3D image datasets with the medical industry, in terms of Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). The usage of such medical devices have occurred in the diagnosis of the patients, the development of guidance towards medical intervention and an overall increase in the medical efficiency. The study would focus on such different tools, adhered with AI for increased medical improvement.

A kind of Subjective Imaging Effect Assessment (SIEA) method and its applications on intelligent imaging terminal design in engineering site are presented. First, some visual assessment indices are used to characterize the imaging effect: the image brightness, the image brightness uniformity, the color image contrast, the image edge blur, the image color difference, the image saturation, the image noise, and the integrated imaging effect index. A linear weighted function is employed to carry out the SIEA computation and the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) technique is used to estimate its weights. Second, a SIEA software is developed. It can play images after the settings of assessment index or assessment reaction time, etc. Third, two cases are used to illustrate the application effects of proposed method: the image enhancement system design for surveillance camera and the imaging environment perception system design for intelligent lighting terminal. A Prior Sequential Stimulus (PSS) experiment is proposed to improve the evaluation stability of SIEA method. Many experiment results have shown the proposed method can realize a stable system design or parameters setting for the intelligent imaging terminal in engineering site.

의료 IT 기술 발전과 함께 의료 디지털 도서관, 3D PACS, 3D 의료진단기기 등의 헬스케어 정보 관리 기술이 급격히 발전되면서 이에 대한 보안 이슈가 제기되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 헬스케어 정보 관리 시스템에서 3D 의료영상 데이터의 저작권 보호, 인증, 인덱싱 및 진단 정보 은닉 등을 위한 다중 워터마킹 기법을 제안한다. 제안한 기법에서는 POCS 워터마킹 기반으로 의료진의 디지털 서명 및 정보 검색 인덱싱을 위한 강인한 워터마크를 꼭지점 정규곡률 분포에 삽입하고, 진단 정보와 인증 기준 메시지를 위한 연약한 워터마크를 꼭지점 거리 차이에 삽입한다. 이 때 강인성, 연약성 및 비가시성에 대한 각각의 볼록 집합들을 설계한 다음, 3D 의료영상 데이터들을 이들 집합으로 반복 투영함으로써 다중 워터마크를 삽입한다. 실험 결과부터 제안한 기법이 다양한 3D 기하학 및 메쉬 변형에 대한 강인성과 연약성을 모두 만족함을 확인하였다.
