Abstract
In the development of an ultrasound imaging
system, whether it will become a popular
system strongly depends on two factors, namely,
objective and subjective factors. While the
objective factor means whether the specification
and the quality can be compete with other
products of the same class, the subjective factor
means whether the operation functions match
most doctors' needs. The goal of this
component project is to develop an application
software with operation functions not only
matching clinical needs but also being
intelligent and user-friendly to minimize a
doctor's operation time.
In order to allow a doctor to complete an
operation function with the minimal effort,
semi-automatic and automatic image processing
algorithms would be the key technology.
Therefore, in this project, in addition to write
the application software and its user-friendly
man-machine interface, the emphasis would be
on developing the image processing algorithms
suitable for ultrasound images. Since the quality
of an ultrasound image is much worse than that
of other types of medical images, the
conventional image processing techniques may
not be very effective for an ultrasound image.
Hencs, in this project, we have put a great effort
on developing new image processing algorithms
to deal with images for different applications,
hoping that the user can easily complete their
desired operation functions. In the secondyear
project, we have proposed a new snake
model, namely, discrete snake model, based on
the early vision model proposed in the first year.
This model has been designed to overcome the
noise nature of ultrasound images in order to
obtain a closed contour for the object of interest.
