Contrast Enhancement of Medical Images

Authors(2) :-Shankar Singh, Pravesh Pal

Contrast enhancement is very useful in medical image analysis that helps the physicians for disease diagnosis. The quality of medical images affects the analysis if the contrast of the images is poor. This paper presents method to enhance the contrast with improved CNR (contrast to noise ratio).
