Abstract
Magnitude enhancement analysis of medical and dental images of tissue or organs such as MRI, PET, CT and x-ray images configured to display intensity-related features of high-bit images, such as grayscale without distorting the underlying intensity unless desired, and/or enhancing perception of saturation, hue, color channels and other space dimensions in a digital image, and external datasets related to a 2D image. In a preferred embodiment, the tissue or organ has been administered a contrast agent prior to the image being taken. In a more preferred embodiment, a series of images of the same tissue or organ has been taken over time to show changes in the tissue or organ over time.
