To reconstruct ultrasonic B-mode image with improved quality, it is desirable to eliminate the contributions originating from the off-axis reflectors in the backscattered echoes. A new coherence factor based on phasor dispersion (PDCF) is presented for side lobe and clutter suppression. This method utilizes the coherence of complex-value aperture data to determine the interference degree to the main...
A hybrid method is used to evaluate atherosclerosis through a mathematical morphology approach and GVF-Snake method. Common carotid artery (CCA) segmentation requires outlining the intima and adventitia contours on the transverse view of B-mode ultrasound (US) images. The lumen and adventitia contours are segmented using a morphology and GVF-Snake methods, respectively. Upon analyzing ten separate...
A method to locate the axis of radio frequency ablation electrode(RFAE) in 3D Ultrasound(US) image is presented based on 3D phase-grouping in this paper. Firstly, all voxels in 3D US images are categorized into different groups which are called Line Support Region(LSR) according to the outer products of adjacent orientation vectors. And then, the RFAE axis is extracted with 3D Randomized Hough transform...
A quick 3D needle segmentation algorithm for 3D US data is described in this paper. The algorithm includes the 3D quick randomized Hough transform (3DGHT), which is based on the 3D randomized Hough transform and coarse-fine searching strategy. We tested it with water phantom. The results show that our algorithm works well in 3D US images with angular deviation less than 1 degree and position deviation...
