Medical images are often adversely affected by a lack of clarity due to the limited representation of the color gamut. In this research, three types of medical images microscopic, magnetic resonance and x-ray images were enhanced by using a Fuzzy Logic by Stretch Membership Function (FLSMF). The Stretch Membership Function increased the dynamic range for the compounds red, green and blue in the medical images which have a few ranges. The FLSMF algorithm was compared with other methods by calculating the entropy value, wavelet quality evaluator and lightness order error. The analysis of the results showed that the proposed method succeeded in enhancing the contrast of the different types of medical images where it had high average values for the entropy (6.95) and wavelet quality evaluator (0.08), and a small average value for the lightness order error (60.77).

Image processing is widely used in the domain of biomedical engineering especially for compression of clinical images. Clinical diagnosis receives high importance which involves handling patient’s data more accurately and wisely when treating patients remotely. Many researchers proposed different methods for compression of medical images using Artificial Intelligence techniques. Developing efficient automated systems for compression of medical images in telemedicine is the focal point in this paper. Three major approaches were proposed here for medical image compression. They are image compression using neural network, fuzzy logic and neuro-fuzzy logic to preserve higher spectral representation to maintain finer edge information’s, and relational coding for inter band coefficients to achieve high compressions. The developed image coding model is evaluated over various quality factors. From the simulation results it is observed that the proposed image coding system can achieve efficient compression performance compared with existing block coding and JPEG coding approaches, even under resource constraint environments.
