Summary:Phase Stretch Transform (PST), a physics-inspired computational approach for feature enhancement, is used to develop a diagnostic assistance tool for pneumothorax in X-ray images. The tool, which is first of its kind, helps in locating the boundary of collapsed lung, a life-critical clinical examination.
