Abstract:
The main objective of this study is Enhancement of Edge Detection of
Thyroid scintigraphy Using Image Processing Technique. And specific
objectives of the study are Read image,to detect region of interest, to
remove background, to retain the image. The study carried out on two
images of thyroid scintigraphy. The software is implemented using
MATLAB R2009b and image segmentation method was implemented in
six steps. in the first step Image Readed in MATLAB software ( original
images) in the second step Entire thyroid gland was Detected in the third
step the Images was Dilated in the fourth step Interior Gaps was Filled in
the images in the fifth step Connected Objects on Border was Removed In
the sixth step the Object was Smoothened and finaly outlined original
images was obtained.
