✦ Synopsis

A new method of processing digital images consists of a numerical filter which suppresses normal features producing an enhancement of the abnormality. The resulting filtered image aids the observer in the recognition of the abnormality. The filter is developed from verified normal images in the computer memory. The enhancement of pathologic accumulations with respect to surrounding activity was improved on the average by a factor of 2.6 for 13 lateral brain images.

Manipulation of the data describing two-dimensional magnetic resonance (MR) images can be used to zoom an image, decrease image noise and artifacts by modeling, or emphasize object edges in the field of view.

## Abstract Given several images of the same slice, a linear filter can produce an image in which the contrast‐to‐noise ratio (CNR) between pathological and normal tissues is greater than in any of the initial images. To distinguish the pathology from more than one tissue, the filter should optimiz

Dynamic susceptibility contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance (MR) imaging in tumors is restricted by relaxivity effects, which may obscure any abnormality of first-pass kinetics in the re-circulation phase. The purposes of this study were a) to document the magnitude of relaxivity effects with a vari

A computer software technique has been developed and employed to insert a modified-Wiener-deconvolution filter (an optimal filter) immediately following the quadrature detector of a magnetic resonance imager. The purpose of this effort is to try to suppress the undesirable effect of the noise found
