The graph cut (GC) algorithm has emerged as an increasingly useful tool for many visual and image-processing problems in computing. This technique treats the segmentation problem as an energy minimization problem. Elastography is examined as a new application of ultrasound in medical diagnostic imaging. This method utilizes signals observed in different situations. Therefore, we expected to be able to apply the GC algorithm to elastography successfully. In this study, we examined the effectiveness of elastography using the GC algorithm. As a result, we obtained an appropriate displacement estimate for elastography using the GC algorithm.
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.
