Abstract
Tissue information is equalized by adaptively controlling gain and mapping input data to output data based on the gain in three-dimensional medical diagnostic imaging. A hypersurface is fit in three spatial dimensions to tissue information in input data. The hypersurface is used to adjust the gain so that input values are mapped to output values with more uniform soft tissue levels.
