pattern recognition. X-ray or other types of images are scanned for suspicious structures. Normally a few thousand images are required to optimize the algorithm. Digital image data are copied to a CAD server in a DICOM-format and are prepared and analyzed in several steps.

1. Preprocessing for
* Reduction of artifacts (bugs in images)
* Image noise reduction
* Leveling (harmonization) of image quality (increased contrast) for clearing the image's
