Purpose.
With the development of digital X-ray imaging and processing methods, the categorization and analysis of massive digital radiographic images need to be automatically finished.
What is crucial in this processing is the automatic retrieval and recognition of radiographic position.
To address these concerns, we developed an automatic method to identify a patient’s position and body region using only frequency curve classification and gray matching.
Methods.
Our new method is combined with frequency analysis and gray image matching.
The radiographic position was determined from frequency similarity and amplitude classification.
The body region recognition was performed by image matching in the whole-body phantom image with prior knowledge of templates.
The whole-body phantom image was stitched by radiological images of different parts.
Results.
The proposed method can automatically retrieve and recognize the radiographic position and body region using frequency and intensity information.
It replaces 2D image retrieval with 1D frequency curve classification, with higher speed and accuracy up to 93.78%.
Conclusion.
The proposed method is able to outperform the digital X-ray image’s position recognition with a limited time cost and a simple algorithm.
The frequency information of radiography can make image classification quicker and more accurate.
