Development and implementation of a user-friendly software interface for a multispectral imaging camera for enhanced contrast in medical applications

Multispectral cameras have great applications in the medical industry due to their inherent ability to take the same image using multiple wavelengths. This makes these cameras useful for visualizing chromophores and processes residing in/beneath the outer layer of skin. Image (pre-)processing is required to obtain high-quality data, which include spatial rearrangement and corrections. The purpose of this study is to create a user-friendly application for medical professionals to create contrasting images with enhanced features. The development process is described and feasability of the program is tested. The results show significant image enhancement using presets created with the program and the program meets all requirements set. It is user-friendly due to the simple design and limited functions and shows to be useful for imaging with medical applications. Improvements could be made in image quality and expanding the support base for the program.
