Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsWarped Optical-Flow Inter-Frame Reconstruction for Ultrasound Image EnhancementBalza Achmad, Mohd Marzuki Mustafa, Aini HussainProblem statement: Optical flow inter-frame enhancement is one of the techniques to improve the quality of ultrasound images by reducing the speckle noise. The performance depends on accuracy of the optical flow inter-frame reconstruction which is a part of the technique. The speckle noise of an ultrasound image forms certain pattern, of which size of the speckle varies depends on … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 10 · 6 Aug 2011 · 7,212 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsTechnique for In-Vivo Measurements of Heart Deformation Using Digital Image CorrelationRonald B. Bucinell, Matthew T. Adams, Mcolisi Dlamini, Leo J. FleishmanMany techniques used to measure the deformation of biological tissue are inadequate for measuring deformations of hearts in vivo. Bull Frogs (Rana Catesbeiana) were double-pithed and dissected to expose the amphibian heart for the measurements conducted in this study. White titanium dioxide powder and black charcoal were applied to the surface of the heart to create an artificial surface pattern … …American Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 4 · 14 Dec 2016 · 7,947 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsNovel Fuzzy Technique for Cancer Detection in Noisy Breast Ultrasound ImagesN. Alamelumangai, J. DeviShreeProblem statement: Detecting tumor areas in breast Ultrasound (US) images is a challenging task. The occurrence of benign areas in breast may result in false identification of malignant areas which may have serious outcome. Approach: The CAD system could act as a major function in the early detection of breast cancer and could decrease the death rate among women with … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 9, Issue 5 · 12 Mar 2012 · 6,959 accessesView PDF Cite

Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractA Novel Approach to Medical Image SegmentationNandagopalan Shanmugam, Adiga B. Suryanarayana, Sudarshan TSB et al.Problem statement: Segmentation is a vital aspect of medical imaging. It aids in the visualization of medical data and diagnostics of various diseases. Ultrasound image segmentation, in particular echocardiographic image segmentation, is required to identify the regions of interest such as Left Ventricle (LV) and other cardiac cavities. Existing methods do not address the drawbacks of speed and quality of … …Journal of Computer Science, Vol. 7, Issue 5 · 7 May 2011 · 7,214 accessesView PDF Cite
