Interpolation is a mathematical process used to smooth, enlarge or average images that are being displayed with more pixels than that for which they were originally reconstructed.

Leukocyte scintigraphy is a medical imaging test which displays the distribution of radiolabeled (for example labeled with 111In indium) leukocytes in the body to detect infection / inflammation. Whole-body scintigrams, and/or images of specific anatomic regions are recorded. Additionally, single photon emission computed tomography can be obtained.

Scintigraphic imaging of the lungs is a sensitive diagnostic imaging tool to detect certain kinds of pulmonary abnormalities in correlation with clinical data and chest radiographs. Pulmonary scintigraphy is particularly useful in diagnosing medical conditions such as pulmonary embolism, bronchial carcinoma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease.
Lung scintigraphy can be performed with radioaerosols, gaseous radiopharmaceuticals and technetium-99m-labeled perfusion agents that are localized by temporary capillary blockade.

Different types of lung scintigraphy include:
The choice of the radioactive tracer varies and depends on the pulmonary function to be imaged. The radioactive tracer distribution within the lungs can be displayed on a computer screen via a gamma camera, a scanner or some other similarly suitable detector that records the radioactive disintegrations emitted by the patient. The images obtained present chromatic variations proportional to the regional radioactivity.

A mammogram is a low dose x-ray of the breast used to detect and diagnose breast disease, or to provide a baseline reference for later comparison. Multiple images are obtained by different positioning of the breast. The breast compression during mammography is an essential component to produce an optimal diagnostic mammogram. Film mammography units use film to both capture and display the image; digital mammography units use electronic equipment.
A spot compression reduces the thickness of the area of interest and improves contrast and separation of breast tissues.

(MIP) CT Angiography images can be processed by maximum intensity projection to interactively viewing volumes of data, where the CT number of each pixel is given by the minimum CT number through the volume. The MIP connects the high intensity dots of the blood vessels in three dimensions, providing an angiogram that can be viewed from any projection. Each point in the MIP represents the highest intensity experienced in that location on any partition within the imaging volume. For complete interpretation the base slices should also be reviewed individually and with multiplanar reconstruction (MPR) software. The MIP can then be displayed in a Cine format or filmed as multiple images acquired from different projections.
