The proposed method verifies the capability of the speckle-tracking algorithm for determining both the magnitude and direction of displacement. The average error was 0.2 degrees C; the maximum error was 0.53 degrees C; and the SD was 0.19 degrees C. Therefore, the proposed algorithm is capable of extracting the temperature information from sonographic digital images.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
