An automated segmentation technique for the processing of foot ultrasound images

Abstract: In spite of the advantages of ease of imaging and low acquisition cost, ultrasound images are noisier and have poorer image quality than other imaging modalities like CT or MRI and hence require an experienced clinician for interpretation. Processing by automated segmentation assists clinicians and improves the accuracy of assessment by minimizing its subjective nature. Various methods for the segmentation of ultrasound images exist, but there is not much literature on the processing of 2D ultrasound images of… Show more

“…Lastly, a small object or any other object that is attached to the boundary is eliminated through the use of the area feature. In addition, an automatic method was proposed by [29] to enable the segmentation of 2D foot ultrasound image. Their study comprises three phases.…”

“…Las imágenes obtenidas fueron sometidas a una etapa de filtrado que comprende el uso de un un filtro de mediana (filtro espacial no lineal) con un kernel de 3x3, para atenuar el ruido tipo sal y pimienta. Finalmente se aplicó un filtro Gaussiano pasa bajas con una frecuencia de corte de D0=0.093, el cual se empleó para resaltar y suavizar los bordes de la estructura anatómica [4,10], mediante (1).…”
