Morphological transformation of x-ray imaging as a method supplementing the process of detecting tubercular changes of the lungs

Abstract

X-radiation (abbreviated as x-ray) examination is still the rudimentary diagnostic method for a range of afflictions. X-ray image is nothing else but a set of grayness points. The modification of this image by means of employing morphological transformations is aimed at individualizing tubercular changes. In a number of cases x-ray image is the diagnostic base used in contemporary phthisiology. The application of morphological transformation of the image targets to sharpen the pathological changes. With that, the establishment of diagnosis is said to be quicker and more accurate. There is no need to perform supplementary x-ray imaging which is beneficial for the patient as he is not exposed to another portions of health- -detrimental radiation. Furthermore, the diagnostic difficulties which could cause the usage of supplementary methods such as x-ray computed tomography are undergoing the process of diminishment.
