Abstract
An algorithm for color assignment of computed tomography (CT) scans is presented. The intention is to produce color images similar to illustrations in anatomy atlases. There are three major advantages to the use of this color assignment algorithm. A single color image may replace the multiple monochrome density range pictures now used for portraying CT information. Perception of low spatial frequencies is improved, which may improve detection of soft tissue tumors. Finally, there are economic advantages for using color displays and printed color copies.
