In this paper, a new method for optimal enhancement of the contrast of a medical image is proposed. The main idea is to improve the Gamma correction method to enhance and highlight the image information and the details based on a new design of the World Cup Optimization (WCO) algorithm. Gamma correction is a suitable method for contrast enhancement with an efficiency that directly depends on the correct selection of the Gamma coefficient.
