A software tool to image processing of ultrasound B-images suitable to finding atherosclerosis
Original language description
The presented paper presents a developed program for image processing of medical ultrasound images based on thresholding in ROI of appropriate tissue. The algorithm has been developed for B-MODE ultrasound images in grayscale which is basic in ultrasoundimaging. The algorithm was checked in neurosonology field, for parkinsonic features of hyperechogenity in substantia nigra. The first phase is focused on pre-processing and ROI selection and automatic checking input quality of images based on global andaverage intensity from histograms. The core is based on computing of an area of hyperechogenic ROI. This method is useful to evaluation pathology and physiology according to descending area in accordance with increasing threshold. The algorithm also hasbeen tested for measurement of raphe nucleus echogenicity also with reliable reached results. In addition, at present present this software is also used to finding atherosclerotic plaques in B-images to risk prevention of atherosclerosis
