Description
Summary:The paper proposes a color contrasting method for X-ray images post-processing. Based on the quantum theory of color vision, this method ensures psychological compatibility between the colored image and the initial grayscale image. The method was tested by processing 70 digital radiographs of different anatomical areas using several various color scales. To evaluate the proposed method, a group of medical specialists took part in the testing process. They estimated overall effectiveness as well as differences between color scales and saturation grades. Most of the doctors stated the usefulness of color contrasting and recommended to implement it into the X-ray post-processing systems. Furthermore, special preferences and constraints were formulated during the testing process.
