X-ray Image Processing

Description

This project focuses on processing Chest PA X-ray images to perform segmentation and contour detection of objects. The notebook demonstrates techniques such as thresholding, image inversion, and contour extraction to highlight specific regions in X-ray images, enabling further medical image analysis.

Features

• Segmentation of Chest PA X-ray images using thresholding techniques.
• Object contour detection using OpenCV.
• Visualization of detected contours for easy analysis.
• Ready-to-use code for preprocessing X-ray images.

Usage

1. Clone this repository:

   git clone https://github.com/hyunjung930731/x-ray-image-processing.git

2. Open the xray_contour.ipynb notebook in Google Colab or Jupyter Notebook.

3. Follow the step-by-step instructions in the notebook to:

Load a Chest PA X-ray image. Perform preprocessing (e.g., thresholding and inversion). Detect and visualize contours.
