Digital processing of diagnostic images is gradually being more widely employed, because of the several advantages it offers in terms of spatial and contrast resolution.

Abstract
Digital processing of diagnostic images is gradually being more widely employed, because of the several advantages it offers in terms of spatial and contrast resolution. An off-line system has been used to convert into digital format ultrasound images of the bladder in patients suffering from carcinoma. Different methods for image processing have been employed to increase contrast, and edge detection algorithms (such as the Sobel operator) have been used to obtain a better demonstration of the bladder wall. In some cases, the Sobel operator was found to be particularly useful in differentiating between infiltrating and non-infiltrating carcinomas. The results suggest the possibility of continuing an already experience.I documenti in IRIS sono protetti da copyright e tutti i diritti sono riservati, salvo diversa indicazione.
