Fractal palettes for medical imaging

A fractal colour model used for medical imaging is discussed in this paper. Presented method should lead to better understanding of displays of complex and ambiguous medical data sets. A simple technique for generation of fractal paletters with different "irregularity is presented together with sample images. The method was tested with real life datasets. Obtained results shown that the fractal colour model can be used as an additional interactive tool for medical visualisation purposes. This tool is especially useful in enhancing detail visibility within uncertain regions of computer tomography magnetic resonance and X-ray mammography images.
