Abstract :
Medical imaging is one of the most attractive topics of image processing and understanding research fields due to the similarity between the captured body organs colors. Most medical images come in grayscale with low contrast gray values; which makes it a challenge to discriminate between the region of interest (ROI) and the background (BG) parts. Pseudocoloring is one of the solutions to enhance the visual appeal of medical images, most literature works suggest RGB-base color palettes. In this paper, pseudo-coloring methods of different medical imaging works are investigated and a highly discriminative colorization method is proposed. The proposed colorization method employs HSV/HSI color models to generate the desired color scale. Experiments have been performed on different medical images and different assessment methods have been utilized. The results show that the proposed methodology could clearly discriminate between near grayscale organs especially in case of tumor existence. Comparisons with other literary works were performed and the results are promising.
