Abstract
This paper presents the development of an application for digital image processing of x-rays of stingrays. In order to measure the rate of absorption at varying temperatures, stingrays were fed detectable ball bearings. Using image processing techniques similar to digital mammography before the development of PACS, ball bearings and anchor points are detected in 111 scanned x-ray images of stingrays. Automatic measurements of distance between the ileum and the ball bearings are taken. The application incorporates image processing techniques and a graphical user interface. The development of the application to automate the measurement process is discussed, as well as its potential use, and its modification for use for different species of aquatic life.
