Application of image processing algorithms to improve visualization of pancreatic structures

The purpose of the research is to develop and compare various methods of processing medical images in order to optimize visualization of pancreatic structures. The main task is to identify the most effective image processing method to achieve the best visualization quality, which, in turn, is important for the accurate diagnosis and treatment of patients with pancreatic pathologies. Methods. As part of our research, various methods were applied, including the analysis of a huge bibliographic material, the use of various tools for data collection, and the involvement of expert knowledge and approaches. Results. The results obtained are discussed taking into account their practical significance for medicine. Optimization of visualization of the pancreas using various image processing methods can significantly improve the accuracy of diagnosis of its diseases. Improved visualization makes it possible to more accurately identify and analyze pathological changes, which contributes to the early detection of diseases and more effective treatment of patients. This can contribute to further improvement of methods of diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic diseases, improving the quality of medical care. Conclusion. Different segmentation methods, such as threshold processing, machine learning, and active contours, have their advantages and limitations in visualizing pancreatic structures. The choice of the optimal method depends on the specific task and the requirements for the accuracy and speed of image processing. Further research should focus on developing more efficient segmentation algorithms and their applicability in clinical practice to improve diagnosis and treatment of pancreatic diseases.
