Texture Analysis of Supraspinatus Ultrasound Image for Computer Aided Diagnostic System

Abstract

ObjectivesIn this paper, we proposed an algorithm for recognizing a rotator cuff supraspinatus tendon tear using a texture analysis based on a histogram, gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM), and gray level run length matrix (GLRLM).MethodsFirst, we applied a total of 57 features (5 first order descriptors, 40 GLCM features, and 12 GLRLM features) to each rotator cuff region of interest. Our results show that first order statistics (mean, skewness, entropy, energy, smoothness), GLCM (correlation, contrast, energy, entropy, difference entropy, homogeneity, maximum probability, sum average, sum entropy), and GLRLM features are helpful to distinguish a normal supraspinatus tendon and an abnormal supraspinatus tendon. The statistical significance of these features is verified using a t-test. The support vector machine classification showed accuracy using feature combinations. Support Vector Machine offers good performance with a small amount of training data. Sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy are used to evaluate performance of a classification test.ResultsFrom the results, first order statics features and GLCM and GLRLM features afford 95%, 85%, and 100% accuracy, respectively. First order statistics and GLCM and GLRLM features in combination provided 100% accuracy. Combinations that include GLRLM features had high accuracy. GLRLM features were confirmed as highly accurate features for classified normal and abnormal.ConclusionsThis algorithm will be helpful to diagnose supraspinatus tendon tear on ultrasound images.

MR textural analysis on T2 FLAIR images for the prediction of true oligodendroglioma by the 2016 WHO genetic classification

“…In our study, first‐order features from the original image reflected the distribution of gray levels without the need to consider the pixel interrelationships . Significantly lower energy values and higher entropy values of true oligodendrogliomas than that of the intact group were found.…”

“…In our study, first-order features from the original image reflected the distribution of gray levels without the need to consider the pixel interrelationships. 28 Significantly lower energy values and higher entropy values of true oligodendrogliomas than that of the intact group were found. The energy measures the uniformity and captures the extent of similarity of voxels in a given region, whereas entropy is a measure of the disorder in the distribution of signal intensities.…”

A Nomogram Combined Radiomic and Semantic Features as Imaging Biomarker for Classification of Ovarian Cystadenomas

“…Our results suggested that higher (CS AD,o1 ) values and lower (C a90,o7 ) values indicated higher heterogeneity of the lesion. Long Run High Gray Level Emphasis (LRHGLE), which measures image texture smoothness quantitatively, is a parameter for the Gray level run-length matrix (GLRLM) (30). In this study, lower LRHGLE a0,o7 and LRHGLE a90,o7 values indicating higher heterogeneity of the lesion.…”

Identification of cecum time-location in a colonoscopy video by deep learning analysis of colonoscope movement

“…In previous studies, we have classified informative frames and non-informative frames from the colonoscopy video with high accuracy (Cho et al, 2018). The SVM was used as it is suitable for image classification (Park, Jang & Yoo, 2016). The criteria for classification of informative frame and non-informative frame were as follows: presence of noise such as color separation phenomenon, blur caused by motion, and non-observable screen such as excessive darkness, brightness, and enlarged screen (Ballesteros et al, 2016).…”
