摘要: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is commonly occurred in occupations using vibrating manual tools or handling tasks with highly repetitive and forceful exertion. Recently, the ultrasonography has been used to evaluate CTS by monitoring median nerve movements. In order facilitate automatic extraction of shape characteristics for nerve, this paper designed a procedure that greedy active contour detection model (GACD) detect edge ultrasound image. We selected ROI be an initial virtual original That can enhance sensitivity proposed GACD nerve. experiment, results show performance method feasible accurate.
