This article presents examples of the use of image filtering for various types of diagnostic medical imaging in order to improve their interpretative value, and thus to improve the diagnostic reliability of that imaging. As research and visual tests have shown, in many cases, the use of digital image filtering makes it possible to significantly improve not only image quality, but also their readability or clarity, thus contributing to a more accurate and precise reading and interpretation of information contained in the images. The author proposed specific filters that largely meet the assumed conditions and constitute a supplement, and sometimes introduce a possible new application in addition to those already known in subject literature. A visual assessment was also made of the degree of diagnostic usefulness of images after filtration compared to the source images. The most commonly used filters are those that not only help to improve the overall appearance and quality of the image, but also, on the one hand, help to extract or highlight certain information, or to reduce noise, on the other hand. Thanks to these solutions, it is possible to smoothen or sharpen some structures within the images, which impacts their readability and quality. Thus, image filtering has become a very desirable and useful tool in many fields of science, technology, as well as art and medicine. The subject matter of image transformation is here applied to the latter discipline.
