Introduction

 What is an image manipulation?


The process of altering or enhancing digital images
using software or other techniques to achieve a desired
outcome.
 Importance:
 1. Improve diagnosis accuracy
 2. Enhance image quality for better visualization
 3. Help surgeons plan operations
4. Monitor disease progression

 Conclusion
 The objectives of CT scan
image manipulation:-
 1. Enhance image quality
and clarity
 2. Improve visual appeal and
aesthetics
 3. Remove imperfections and
noise
 4. Manipulate images for
creative expression
5. Extract valuable information
from images
Types of Image Manipulation
1. Windowing
2. Leveling
3. Zooming
4. 3D Reconstruction
WINDOWING
 Windowing is a technique used to adjust the
contrast and brightness of an image by setting a
specific range of pixel values.
 Windowing enhances image visibility by:
 Improving contrast
 Reducing noise
 Highlighting specific features
- Suppressing unwanted details
Windowing involves
adjusting two key
parameters:
1.*Window Width
(WW):* Range of pixel
values
2.*Window Center
(WC):* Midpoint of
the window width,it is
also called as
window level
Leveling
 Leveling in CT image manipulation
refers to the adjustment of the
grayscale range (brightness and
contrast) to enhance the visibility of
specific tissues or structures within the
scan.
Zooming
Zooming in CT image manipulation refers
to the process of magnifying specific
regions of a CT (computed tomography)
scan for closer examination.
Zooming helps in diagnostic
assessments, surgical planning, and
treatment monitoring by providing
enhanced focus on areas of clinical
significance.
3D
reconstruction
3D reconstruction in medical imaging,
particularly in CT (computed tomography)
scans, refers to the process of creating a
three-dimensional model of a patient's
anatomy from 2D image slices. This
technique allows for better visualization of
complex structures and can aid in
diagnosis, treatment planning, and
surgical interventions.
Advantages
 Enhanced visualisation: by adjusting the contrast , brightness and filters
make it easy to detect any abnormalities.
 3D reconstruction: By manipulation of image It can easily created 3D model
of the scanned area like complex areas like fractures, cancer and other
structures which aid or useful for surgical planning
 Segmenting and Isolating Regions of Interest: CT image manipulation enables
healthcare professionals to isolate specific areas of interest, such as a
tumours, by removing or reducing the visibility of surrounding tissues.
 Reduction of artifacts : Manipulation helps reduce or eliminate these artifacts,
improving the quality of the images.
 Multi-Planar Views: Unlike conventional X-rays, which provide only 2D images,
CT scans produce multiple cross-sectional images. Image manipulation allows
clinicians to view the body from different planes (axial, coronal, and sagittal),
providing a comprehensive understanding of complex anatomical structures.
 Trauma and Emergency Diagnostics: In trauma cases, image manipulation
helps quickly assess internal injuries such as organ lacerations, fractures, or
internal bleeding, providing rapid, life-saving information to emergency
medical teams.
Disadvantages
 False positives / negative : excessive filter or enchance can create
artifacts and may lead radiologist to detect abnormalities that does
not exist.
 Loss of diagnostic accuracy: over processing which can alter
anatomical details .
 Time consuming: delaying diagnostic and treatment .
 Radiation exposure and repeated scan: if image quality is
unsatisfied repeat scan might be necessary .
 Reduced diagnostic confidence: dependent on manipulated image.
 Technician expertise required : proper manipulation requires skilled
personnel.
Conclusions

 CT image manipulation can improve the clarity of medical scans but


it must be used carefully . If overdone or undone properly it can lead
to mistake in diagnosis, added costs and longer wait times. Its
important to balance improving the image while keeping them
accurate and reliable for the best medical results.
