Medical images are a specific type of image that can be used to diagnose disease in patients. Critical uses for medical images can be found in many different areas of medicine and healthcare technology. Generally, the medical images produced by these imaging methods have low contrast. As a result, such types of images need immediate and fast enhancement. This paper introduced a novel image enhancement methodology based on the Laplacian filter, contrast limited adaptive histogram equalization, and an adjustment algorithm. Two image datasets were used to test the proposed method: The DRIVE dataset, forty images from the COVID-19 Radiography Database, endometrioma-11, normal-brain-MRI-6, and simple-breast-cyst-2. In addition, we used the robust MATLAB package to evaluate our proposed algorithm’s efficacy. The results are compared quantitatively, and their efficacy is assessed using four metrics: Peak Signal to Noise Ratio (PSNR), Mean Square Error (MSE), Contrast to Noise Ratio (CNR), and Entropy (Ent). The experiments show that the proposed method yields improved images of higher quality than those obtained from state-of-the-art techniques regarding MSE, CNR, PSNR, and Ent metrics.

Coronavirus is considered the first virus to sweep the world in the twenty-first century, it appeared by the end of 2019. It started in the Chinese city of Wuhan and began to spread in different regions around the world too quickly and uncontrollable due to the lack of medical examinations and their inefficiency. So, the process of detecting the disease needs an accurate and quickly detection techniques and tools. The X-Ray images are good and quick in diagnosing the disease, but an automatic and accurate diagnosis is needed. Therefore, this paper presents an automated methodology based on deep learning in diagnosing COVID-19. In this paper, the proposed system is using a convolutional neural network, which is considered one of the mostly prominent techniques used today for its reliability and ability to generate rapid results. The system was trained on a set of X-Ray images taken of the chest area of infected and uninfected people. The CNN structure gave accuracy, Precision, Recall and F-Measure 98%. This model is characterized by its ability to distinguish efficiently and adapt to different cases.

Image segmentation is a critical step in computer-aided diagnosis that could speed up Leukemia detection. Leukemia is a cancer of the blood that has a reputation for being particularly lethal. Based on the immunohistochemical method, the leukocytes can be manually counted in a stained peripheral blood smear image to detect Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). Regrettably, the manual diagnosis process takes about 3 to 24 hours to complete, which is insufficient. This paper introduced a new and straightforward ALL image segmentation approach based on color image transformation. First, Leukemia, ALL-IDB1, ALL-IDB2, and ALL image datasets were used in this paper. The Leukemia dataset includes 208 ALL-IDB1 and ALL-IDB2 images, while The ALL dataset has 3256 images. Next, we use the HSV model to transform ALL images. In addition, we modified the HSV model by pre-processing the saturation channel for better results. Then, the pre-processed images were segmented based on a fixed threshold. After that, various metrics are utilized to measure the output of the proposed method. Finally, the proposed methodology is compared to currently used benchmarks. The proposed method outperforms previous approaches regarding accuracy, specificity, sensitivity, and time. In addition, results show that the proposed technique improves performance measures significantly.
