Method, Computer Program Product And Apparatus For Enhancing A Computerized Tomography Image

A device for enhancing a first CT image composed of a plurality of elements, each having an intensity value in Hounsfield units indicative of a tissue type, the device comprising:

• receiving means for receiving said first CT image,
• processing means arranged for providing, by enhancement processing based on said first CT image, a plurality of copies of said first CT image, said processing means being adapted for enhancement processing with respect to predetermined intensity value ranges, and
• means for combining said plurality of copies of said first CT image with said first CT image, whereby an enhanced CT image is provided, said combining being based on a classification with respect to intensity values of regions within said first CT image and said plurality of copies of said first CT image.

A method for enhancing a first digital image composed of a plurality of elements, each having an intensity value, the method comprising:

• receiving a first digital image,
• providing, by enhancement processing based on said first digital image, a plurality of copies of said first digital image, said enhancement processing being performed with respect to predetermined intensity value ranges, and
• combining said plurality of copies of said first digital image with said first digital image, whereby an enhanced digital image is provided, said combining being based on a classification with respect to intensity values of regions within said first image and said plurality of copies of said first image.
