Stabilized Images

Stabilized images (pronunciation: /ˈsteɪ.bəl.aɪzd ˈɪm.ɪdʒ/) are a type of medical imaging technique used in various fields of medicine. The term refers to images that have been processed to reduce blurring caused by the motion of the camera, patient, or other factors.

Etymology

The term "stabilized images" comes from the English words "stabilize", meaning to make or hold steady, and "images", referring to a representation of the external form of a person or thing in art. The term thus refers to images that have been made steady or stable, particularly in the context of medical imaging.

Usage in Medicine

In medicine, stabilized images are often used in procedures such as MRI scans, CT scans, and ultrasound imaging. These techniques often require the patient to remain still for extended periods, and even minor movements can cause blurring or distortion in the images. By using image stabilization techniques, healthcare professionals can obtain clearer, more accurate images, which can aid in diagnosis and treatment planning.
