Abstract
In an image-processing method for the detection of radiological signs in series of 3D data, an algorithm is used to detect radiological signs in a digital volume according to their contrasts. This algorithm is applied to reconstructed slices or directly to the series of projections. This algorithm is made by means of linear differential filters for signal analysis. It is used to color or enhance the intensity of the detected radiological signals according to the degree of malignancy.
