High speed texture discriminator for ultrasonic imaging

摘要: Tissue signatures are obtained from first and second order statistics of an image texture to discriminate between different normal tissues detect abnormal conditions. These describe intrinsic backscatter properties the tissue imaged, used as basis automatic characterization algorithm. A device for on-line classifying measures a total four statistical echo signals region interest (ROI) selected by operator, being contained in memory. can be obtain signatures, low contrast lesions machine, produce parametric images.
