Major Field of Science: | Engineering and Technology | Field Category: | Medical Engineering | Keywords: | Speckle;Ultrasonic imaging;Filters;Anisotropic magnetoresistance;Image texture analysis;Carotid arteries | Issue Date: | 7-Nov-2002 | Source: | 14th International Conference on Digital Signal Processing Proceedings, 2002, 1-3 July, Santorini, Greece | Start page: | 525 | End page: | 528 | Conference: | International Conference on Digital Signal Processing Proceedings | Abstract: | The objective of this work was to develop six speckle reduction-filtering techniques and evaluate them together with texture analysis in the assessment of 240 ultrasound images of the carotid artery. The de- speckled filters are based on anisotropic diffusion, local statistics with higher moments, and geometric filtering. Results showed that some improvement in class separation (between symptomatic and asymptomatic plaques) of the images was evident after de-speckle filtering. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/23659 | ISBN: | 0-7803-7503-3 | DOI: | 10.1109/ICDSP.2002.1028143 | Rights: | © IEEE | Type: | Conference Papers | Affiliation : | Intercollege Cyprus Institute of Neurology and Genetics Brunel University University of Cyprus |
