Abstract Ultrasound Imaging And Its Effect On The...

Abstract – Ultrasound imaging is one of the popular, cheapest and noninvasive medical scans. At the time of image acquisition, there may be distortion of the quality of image in the form of speckle noise. Nowadays, many researches have made various experiments to enhance the quality of medical image. However, there is scope to further enhance the image. In the proposed method, finding out the seed pixel randomly is the basic problem, which is treated as an optimization problem. It can be solved by Particle Swarm Optimization. Using Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm, the fitness function can give us appropriate seed pixel for required ultrasound imaging. In this paper, a novel method is proposed, wherein segmentation will be applied on a fuzzy filtered image. The fuzzy filter applies fuzzy rules to detect regions in the image viz. edge region, homogenous region, and noisy region by using different gradients, and later filters the noisy region using fuzzy membership rules. T he proposed method has been tested on different ultrasound images, and the experimental results demonstrate its effectiveness. Keywords – image processing, ultrasound image, particle swarm optimization, basic gradient, fuzzy filter, global best Introduction Ultrasound imaging has been considered as one of the most powerful techniques for imaging organs and soft tissue structures in the human body. However, the presence of random speckle noise makes human interpretation and computer-aided ultrasoundShow MoreRelatedStatistical Analysis Of Early Detection Of Liver Cirrhosis1759 Words   |  8 PagesStatistical Analysis Of Early Detection Of Liver Cirrhosis Through Medical Image Processing Megha Bahdauria1,Chetna Garg1, Dr. Saurabh Mukherjee2, K.F.

Magnetic resonance imaging commonly known to one of the safest forms of attaining pictures of the human anatomy. Although magnetic resonance technology is popular amongst health care providers for decades, until recently, scientists could not get the optimum image of some critical parts of the human anatomy. The magnetic resonanceRead MoreUsing Brute Force Algorithm For The Quality Of Ultrasound Image2605 Words   |  11 PagesAbstract: In general, the main problem in ultrasound images is reduction of noise and problem is more severe when the noise is multiplicative in nature. In this paper, we present a novel method to combine different filter using brute force algorithm to enhance the quality of ultra sound image. This method is divided into two parts i.e. pre-processing and brute force algorithm. In pre-processing me dian filter ,fuzzy filter which will evaluate the different characteristics as noisy, homogeneous, andRead MoreEssay about Breast Cancer Diagnosis Methods Analysis2614 Words   |  11 PagesAbstract: Breast cancer research over the last decade has been tremendous and the novel methods being develop help in the early detection, in setting the stages of the therapy and in assessing the response of the patient to the treatment. Some of the studies look very promising and their use in future may decrease the radiation dose to the patient. This paper studies various techniques used for the diagnosis of breast cancer. Different methods are explored for their merits and de-merits for the diagnosisRead MoreKodak and Fujifilm3529 Words   |  15 PagesAssignment 1: Kodak And Fujifilm Laura Renee Baxter Management 302 Milton Lawler, Ph.D. Strayer University January 23,2013 Abstract Both Kodak and Fujifilm are companies that focused on photography and imaging as their core businesses. Despite Kodak having an upper hand of starting earlier than Fujifilm, 1888 compared to 1934, Fujifilm adapted more to market changes and currently still has a force to reckon.
