Development of intelligent diagnosis and report system based on whole body bone SPECT image

In this paper, the theory and method of digital image processing are applied to realize the function of intelligent observing images and automatic classification by computer. A computer diagnostic database system is developed. In this system, the whole body bone SPECT image from healthy persons and patients can be analyzed automatically; parameters judging healthy and diseased bone are derived and used to classify cases. By using the intelligent diagnostic algorithm, the influence on the other parts of human body in SPECT images due to large count quantity in bladder area is successfully eliminated. The brightness, contrast and readability are enhanced. It basically realized intelligent observing images and automatic classification by computer. The method in this paper is independent of SPECT equipments and radiation mark medicaments. The diagnostic results are also given automatically. All the information of patients, SPECT image data and diagnostic reports are store in the database of the system and managed by the system.
