Worldwide Implementation of Digital Imaging in Radiology No This publication is intended to support those working in 28 SERIES NO. IAEA HUMAN HEALTH diagnostic radiology who wish to implement digital solutions in their work in radiology. In an area that is under rapid development, it provides a careful analysis of the principles of and advice on implementation and sustainability of digital imaging and teleradiology. International experience shows that the deployment of digital technology is not confined to developed countries, and this publication is focussed on finding solutions in developing countries. However, the transition from film to digitally based medical imaging is complex and requires knowledge and planning to be successful. The publication is a comprehensive resource guide which contains information on the needs and implications of a transition to digital imaging, with implementation scenarios for different facilities requiring different levels of communicative connectivity.

  • Digital Imaging Ethics
    Digital Imaging Ethics It is strongly advised that EMS Users follow the MSA Policy on Digital Image Manipulation. "Ethical digital imaging requires that the original uncompressed image file be stored on archival media (e.g., CD-R) without any image manipulation or processing operation. All parameters of the production and acquisition of this file, as well as any subsequent processing steps, must be documented and reported to ensure reproducibility. Generally, acceptable (non-reportable) imaging operations include gamma correction, histogram stretching, and brightness and contrast adjustments. All other operations (such as Unsharp-Masking, Gaussian Blur, etc.) must be directly identified by the author as part of the experimental methodology. However, for diffraction data or any other image data that is used for subsequent quantification, all imaging operations must be reported." This policy was formulated by the Digital Image Processing & Ethics Group of the MSA Education Committee and was adopted as MSA policy at the Summer Council meeting August 2-3, 2003. Guidelines for the proper acquisition and manipulation of scientific digital images: (from Douglas W. Cromey, M.S. - Manager, Cellular Imaging Core Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona) See here for the original article These guidelines were written for life science imaging but are relevant to materials science microscopy as well. 1. Scientific digital images are data that can be compromised by inappropriate manipulations. Images are data arranged spatially in an XY matrix (or grid) and each individual element (pixel) has a numerical value that represents a grayscale or RGB intensity value. These data are a numerical sampling of the specimen as presented by the data acquisition system (e.g., microscope) to the sensor (e.g., CCD camera).

  • Digital Imaging and Printing Selection 92 Image Manipulation Requires Selecting Either a Part of the Image Or the Entire Image to Make Changes
    90 CHAPTER DIGITAL IMAGING and 08 PRINTING Towards a New AgeDesign a New Graphic Towards raphic designers work with visual images, either for Gprint media or for digital media. With the advent of 91 computers, most of the graphic designer’s work is being done using computers. From graphical point of view there is a vast difference between images on paper such as drawings, sketches or photographs and images that you see on the screen of the computers. Images that are created, manipulated and displayed using computers are called digital images. Digital images are different from images drawn or painted on paper in many ways. TYPES OF DIGITAL IMAGES There are two major categories of digital images: raster images and vector images. When images are stored in a computer in the form of a grid of basic picture elements called pixels, then these images are called raster images. The pixels contain the information about colour and brightness. Image-editing programmes can replace or modify the pixels to edit the image Digital Imaging and Imaging Printing Digital in various ways. The pixels can be modified in groups, or individually. There are sophisticated algorithms to achieve this. On the other hand vector images are stored as mathematical descriptions of the image in terms of lines, Bezier curves, and text instead of pixels. This is the main difference between raster and vector images. However, this difference is responsible for the development of two major categories of graphic technologies namely: Raster Graphics and Vector Graphics. Therefore, the image-editing software used by the practicing graphic designers falls under one of these categories.

Universitaria, Coyoacán 04510. México D.F. México. [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] 2Facultad de Ingeniería, UNAM, Cd. Universitaria Coyoacán, 04510, México D.F. México. [email protected] Received: January 6th, 2004. Accepted: December 15th, 2005 ABSTRACT A low-cost airborne digital imaging system capable to perform aerial surveys with small-format cameras is introduced. The equipment is intended to obtain high-resolution multispectral digital photographs constituting so a viable alternative to conventional aerial photography and satellite imagery. Monitoring software handles all the procedures involved in image acquisition, including flight planning, real-time graphics for aircraft position updating in a mobile map, and supervises the main variables engaged in the imaging process. This software also creates files with the geographical position of the central point of every image, and the flight path followed by the aircraft during the entire survey. The cameras are mounted on a three-axis stabilized platform. A set of inertial sensors determines platform's deviations independently from the aircraft and an automatic control system keeps the cameras at a continuous nadir pointing and heading, with a precision better than ± 1 arc-degree in three-axis. The control system is also in charge of saving the platform’s orientation angles when the monitoring software triggers the camera. These external orientation parameters, together with a procedure for camera calibration give the essential elements for image orthocorrection.
