  18. 數位影像要素

  19. Origin y f(x,y) x 數位影像表示法 • 像素 (Pixel) • 解析度(Resolution) • Spatial Resolution • row x column • 灰階值(Gray level) • Density Resolution • 彩色：R(ed), G(reen), B(lue) • 影像大小(image size) • row x column x bits(實務上，影像多半以bytes為儲存單位；例如，12bit 影像就以 2byte 儲存)

  21. 色彩基本原理(一) 加色原理 (螢幕) 減色原理 (印表機) 基本色：Red、Green、Blue 基本色：Red、Blue、Yellow

  22. 色彩基本原理(二) 一般電腦螢幕能顯示最多256層灰階變化 ( R , G , B ) ( 255, 0, 0) ( 0, 255, 0) ( 0, 0, 255) ( 0, 0, 191) ( 255, 255, 0) ( 191, 191, 0) ( 127, 127, 0) ( 63, 63, 0) ( 0, 0, 0) ( R , G , B ) ( 255, 255, 255) ( 223, 223, 223) ( 191, 191, 191) ( 159, 159, 159) ( 127, 127, 127) ( 95, 95, 95) ( 63, 63, 63) ( 31, 31, 31) ( 0, 0, 0) 灰階變化

  23. 影響顯像品質之要素 • 空間解析度(Spatial Resolution) • 影像大小(由儀器設備端決定) • 影像壓縮：Lossy or loseless • 畫質解析度(Density Resolution) • 灰階值的範圍(由儀器設備端決定) • 影像明暗對比：用Window level / width調整 • 訊雜比(Signal-to-Noise Ratio)

  24. 基本影像分析處理技術

  25. 影像放大 (Zoom In) 原圖直接放大會有 Aliasing 現象發生(即顯現大顆粒格子狀的影像) 放大 8 倍 原影像 放大 64 倍

  26. 影像平滑處理 (Smoothness) Anti-Aliasing 未平滑處理 經平滑處理

  27. 影像平滑處理(二) 心得：影像中看到的邊緣(Edge)就是灰階突然變化之處， 平滑處理就是將灰階的變化變得較為平緩。 灰階值 灰階值 利用內插法(Interpolation)來處理 未平滑處理 平滑處理

  28. 局部處理 大範圍處理 影像平滑處理(三) 未平滑處理 平滑處理(一) 平滑處理(二)

  29. Brightness and Contrast • Histogram: • # of pixels vs pixel value • Window level (Center) • Level 值變大→ 亮度變暗 • Level 值變小→ 亮度變亮 • Window width • width 值變大→ 對比變弱 • width 值變小→ 對比變強

  30. 影像濾波處理(Filter): (1) 原影像 Spatial Domain Frequency Domain

  31. 影像濾波處理(Filter): (2) 低頻譜影像 Spatial Domain Frequency Domain

  32. 影像濾波處理(Filter): (3) 高頻譜影像 Spatial Domain Frequency Domain

  33. Image Quality Control • How to show images in the best quality without user’s manipulation ? • Image parameters (e.g.window width/level) of automatically-sent images may be not optimized by technologists. • cp. Frame-grab images are always optimized. • Using quality-control workstations to audit the image quality.

  34. Specifications of the monitor • 0.25 mm focal point • Resolution 1024x768 for VGA non-interlaced • Max. refresh rate: 89 Hz • H.F.: 68 kHz V.F.:85 Hz

  35. Quality Control Methods • Preset a window table on the PACS server • window width and level value. • Retrived image and table matching. • a field of image header . • Window re-computing during transmission.

CT SPIRAL_THORAX=450,40 CHEST_GENERAL=432,8 ADULT_BRAIN=400,50 CHILD_BRAIN=230,60 SPIRAL_BRAIN=400,50 SPIRAL_ABDOMEN=300,40 MEDIUM_abdomen=400,60 CR CHEST_PORTABLE=570,380 CHEST_GENERAL=720,470 ABDOMEN_GENERAL=630,550 CHEST_A_P=480,440 PELVIS_GENERAL=550,550 FOOT=650,350 IVP:C=640,590 Display parameters table

  37. Goal of Image Quality Assuring • Optimal images were displayed on viewing station. • Quality was improved on every image modalities. • Acceptable by clinical users and radiologists. • Image contrast higher than the original image (narrower dynamic range) . • Automatic and expeditious image re-computing after window width and level matching.

  38. Comparison of the images

  39. Comparison of the images

  40. Supplements to the display of image windows • Automatic adjustment • Presetting value (Icon) for bone, lung and soft tissue (CT). • Manual adjustment • Adjustable window width and level on histogram.

  41. Window width & level adjustment

  42. Image Compression 影像壓縮法 非失真型壓縮法： 不允許解壓資料產生誤差 文字壓縮 LZW, ZIP, ARJ 壓縮比約為2至5倍 失真型壓縮法： 解壓資料可以不全等於原始資料 video, still image, music JPEG, MPEG, H.263, H.324 壓縮比約為8至20倍

  43. ROI Compression (a) Original Image (b) ROI Block (c) After Compression

  44. Image Compression • 已將JPEG 2000定為DICOM標準 • 分為8/10/12/16/32 bit的JPEG lossy /lossless壓縮格式 • DICOM JPEG 格式為 • 70（即 JPEGlossless default ) • 50與51(即JPEG lossy default) • Lossy Compression will cause untrusty PACS
