The application of certain digital processing techniques offers the possibility of extra accuracy in the interpretation of paraclinical examinations of this type, with profound implications in the diagnosis as well as in the hierarchy of the treatment plan. The purpose of this study is to identify the type of imaging processing for the identification of pathological elements from orthopantomographies and articular tomographies. A number of 20 orthopantomographies and 15 temporo-mandibular joint tomography have undergone through various image enhancement techniques. Various methods of image enhancement (enhancement) have been used for those procedures whereby it becomes more useful in the following aspects: specific details are highlighted; noise is eliminated; the image becomes more visually attractive. The workings were done in Corel PhotoPaint 7.0, using the automatic procedures available.The choice of a particular type of image enhancement technique has been selected for each type of pathology found in orthopantomographies or articular tomography, providing the best accuracy for an optimal imaging interpretation that underpins a precision diagnosis.Of the most useful imaging processing in the optimization of the orthopantomographic image accuracy the point-to-point transformations are to be noted. The image processing proposed in this article focused primarily on improving the radiological image attributes to highlight specific anatomical structures, and secondly, the contour detection, where it was necessary for the diagnostic purposes as well.

AbstractThe aim of this study was to validate the measurements of the beat intervals taken at rest by the Omegawave® device by comparing them to an ambulatory electrocardiogram system. For this purpose, the electrocardiogram was digitally processed, time-aligned, and scrutinized for its suitable use as gold-standard. Rest measurements were made for 10 minutes on 5 different days to 10 men and 3 women (24.8±5.05 years; 71.82±11.02 kg; 174.35±9.13 cm). RR intervals were simultaneously recorded using the Omegawave device and a Holter electrocardiogram. The processing of Holter electrocardiogram signals included the detrending of baseline noise and a high-pass filtering for emphasizing the QRS complexes and attenuating the T waves. After obtaining the RR intervals from the electrocardiogram, those from the Omegawave device were automatically aligned to them with cross-correlation digital processing techniques and compared to check whether both measurements could be considered superimposable. A Bland-Altman analysis was applied to the 5 measurements made for all subjects. The Omegawave device exhibited very strong agreement with a quality-controlled Holter electrocardiogram. Deviations not exceeding 25 ms could be expected in 95% of the cases, which is within manageable ranges both for clinical practice and for sports.

Logging service companies are attempting to provide a fairly good selection of devices which have proven to be popular with the oil industry. However, the introduction of new devices or new services is being limited because oil companies are standardizing the logging‐suites run in their various geographic operating areas. Some of these new techniques appear to have significant applications. Recently, standard logging‐suites and evaluation‐techniques have evolved; these can be evaluated in terms of open‐hole and cased‐hole applications and the physical parameters of interest. Generally, these standard procedures depend on the differences in responses of multiple electrical and porosity devices. The multiple measurements are input to response equations which yield the parameters of interest. Although mining companies have been slow to adopt logging techniques, the use of logging devices and interpretation methods in nonpetroleum mineral (groundwater, nonmetals, metallic sulfides, etc.) exploration and evaluation, and in providing geophysical survey parameters is increasing. Nuclear, electrical, acoustic, and other methods are utilized, and newer applications of these to exploration, particularly in lithology determination, suggest themselves. Log digitizing and computer processing of log data have become routine in most major oil companies, but techniques, programs, and equipment vary significantly. Currently, commercial digitizing services are too expensive to be used extensively; the per‐log costs, however, are declining as more digitizing companies offer competitive services. Two basic commercial systems for transmission and computation of log data are functioning. To date, these systems yield “quicklook” reconnaissance parameter computations. Current research and development emphasis is on pulsed neutron‐spectroscopy and acoustic‐parameter measurements and on digital processing techniques.

Abstract The paper presents an overview of the image-processing techniques. The set of basic theoretical instruments includes methods of mathematical analysis, linear algebra, probability theory and mathematical statistics, theory of digital processing of one-dimensional and multidimensional signals, wavelet-transforms and theory of information. This paper describes a methodology that aims to detect and diagnose faults, using thermographs approaches for the digital image processing technique.
