Feature Extraction of Bone Scintigraphy for Diagnosis of Diseases

The poor quality of medical images create bottleneck in identifying the affected bones and its exact number by the investigators. The paper aims at evolving an efficient parameterization technique to extract biomedical bone image features with the help of bone scintigraphy technique from poor resolution images. An open source software package, elastix has been used to select a proper medical image registration method for a particular application. The focus of the proposed method is to removing uncertainties from the images of bone scintigraphy to obtain a clear idea about the unconventional shape of the specific human bones based on which the affected bones are identified and thereby facilitate diagnosis of diseases.
