Abstract

A graphical image display provides improved image presentation due to potential removal of background data which would otherwise degrade presentation of the region of interest and due to automatic adjustment of image brightness and contrast based on operator preference. Statistical analysis of the image data is employed. The invention is particularly useful in medical diagnostic imaging.
