“…Existing computer-aided cirrhosis diagnosis systems mainly focus on quantitatively analyzing the texture of parenchyma in liver ultrasound images by extracting texture features such as fractal features [ 7 ], statistical texture features [ 8 , 9 , 10 ], spectral features [ 11 , 12 , 13 , 14 ] or combined features [ 2 , 15 , 16 , 17 , 18 ]. Then different classifiers such as random forest, support vector machine, neural networks, etc., are trained to classify the samples into cirrhosis or normal ones.…”
