A fully-automatic ultrasound image processing system that can determine the needle entry site for epidural anesthesia (EA) in real time is presented in this paper. Neither the knowledge of anesthetists nor additional hardware is required to operate the system, which firstly directs the anesthetists to reach the desired insertion region in the longitudinal view, i.e., lumbar level L3-L4, and then locates...
In this paper, we propose an ultrasound image processing procedure for fully automatic lumbar spine level identification. The image processing procedure starts with automatic sacrum identification, with feature selection and support vector machine (SVM) classification. After sacrum is detected, a panorama image stitching procedure is initiated to obtain the overall spinous processes structure. Throughout...
