Medical images are often adversely affected by a lack of clarity due to the limited representation of the color gamut. In this research, three types of medical images microscopic, magnetic resonance and x-ray images were enhanced by using a Fuzzy Logic by Stretch Membership Function (FLSMF). The Stretch Membership Function increased the dynamic range for the compounds red, green and blue in the medical images which have a few ranges. The FLSMF algorithm was compared with other methods by calculating the entropy value, wavelet quality evaluator and lightness order error. The analysis of the results showed that the proposed method succeeded in enhancing the contrast of the different types of medical images where it had high average values for the entropy (6.95) and wavelet quality evaluator (0.08), and a small average value for the lightness order error (60.77).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
