Ultrasound images are sometimes difficult to reproduce repeatedly and perfectly when operating a complicated instrument, especially
in regard to the amplifier gain. Thus the logarithm-differential processing (l.d.p.) method described here is aimed at an
improvement in the uniformity of the clinical information.
This paper discusses the use of the time gain control method and the role of a physical model of tissue, for example a parallel
interface model, which has been used for the derivation of acoustical parameters from an echo signal.
The l.d.p. method has the following advantages: (i) each point in the image corresponds with the local acoustical parameters
of the tissue; (ii) the image will be insensitive to the variations in the gain of the amplifier; and (iii) the l.d.p. method
is very easy to operate as a real-time system.
A set of six clinical photographs is presented showing that a 20 dB variation in the gain of the amplifier may seriously affect
the images. However, the processed images are insensitive to the value of amplifier gain. 相似文献

In this article the authors propose a novel interslice coding algorithm especially appropriate for medical 3-dimensional (3D) images. The proposed algorithm is based on a video coding algorithm using motion estimation/compensation and transform coding. In the algorithm, warping is adopted for motion compensation. Then, by using adaptive mode selection, an MC residual image and original image are mixed up in the wavelet transform domain for improvement in coding performance. The mixed image is then compressed by the zerotree coding method. It is proven that the adaptive mode selection technique in the wavelet transform domain is very useful for medical 3D image coding. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme provides good performance, regardless of interslice distance, and is prospective for medical 3D image compression. 相似文献

This paper proposes some modifications to the state-of-the-art Set Partitioning In Hierarchical Trees (SPIHT) image coder based on statistical analysis of the wavelet coefficients across various subbands and scales, in a medical ultrasound (US) image. The original SPIHT algorithm codes all the subbands with same precision irrespective of their significance, whereas the modified algorithm processes significant subbands with more precision and ignores the least significant subbands. The statistical analysis shows that most of the image energy in ultrasound images lies in the coefficients of vertical detail subbands while diagonal subbands contribute negligibly towards total image energy. Based on these statistical observations, this work presents a new modified SPIHT algorithm, which codes the vertical subbands with more precision while neglecting the diagonal subbands. This modification speeds up the coding/decoding process as well as improving the quality of the reconstructed medical image at low bit rates. The experimental results show that the proposed method outperforms the original SPIHT on average by 1.4 dB at the matching bit rates when tested on a series of medical ultrasound images. Further, the proposed algorithm needs 33% less memory as compared to the original SPIHT algorithm. 相似文献

Most existing wavelet-based image denoising techniques are developed for additive white Gaussian noise. In applications to
speckle reduction in medical ultrasound (US) images, the traditional approach is first to perform the logarithmic transform
(homomorphic processing) to convert the multiplicative speckle noise model to an additive one, and then the wavelet filtering
is performed on the log-transformed image, followed by an exponential operation. However, this non-linear operation leads
to biased estimation of the signal and increases the computational complexity of the filtering method. To overcome these drawbacks,
an efficient, non-homomorphic technique for speckle reduction in medical US images is proposed. The method relies on the true
characterisation of the marginal statistics of the signal and speckle wavelet coefficients. The speckle component was modelled
using the generalised Nakagami distribution, which is versatile enough to model the speckle statistics under various scattering
conditions of interest in medical US images. By combining this speckle model with the generalised Gaussian signal first, the
Bayesian shrinkage functions were derived using the maximum a posteriori (MAP) criterion. The resulting Bayesian processor
used the local image statistics to achieve soft-adaptation from homogeneous to highly heterogeneous areas. Finally, the results
showed that the proposed method, named GNDShrink, yielded a signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) gain of 0.42 dB over the best state-of-the-art
despeckling method reported in the literature, 1.73 dB over the Lee filter and 1.31 dB over the Kaun filter at an input SNR
of 12.0 dB, when tested on a US image. Further, the visual comparison of despeckled US images indicated that the new method
suppressed the speckle noise well, while preserving the texture and organ surfaces. 相似文献

Wavelet-based statistical approach for speckle reduction in medical ultrasound images 总被引:4,自引:0,他引:4
A novel speckle-reduction method is introduced, based on soft thresholding of the wavelet coefficients of a logarithmically
transformed medical ultrasound image. The method is based on the generalised Gaussian distributed (GGD) modelling of sub-band
coefficients. The method used was a variant of the recently published BayesShrink method by Chang and Vetterli, derived in
the Bayesian framework for denoising natural images. It was scale adaptive, because the parameters required for estimating
the threshold depend on scale and sub-band data. The threshold was computed by Kσ/σx, where σ and σx were the standard deviation of the noise and the sub-band data of the noise-free image, respectively, and K was a scale parameter.
Experimental results showed that the proposed method outperformed the median filter and the homomorphic Wiener filter by 29%
in terms of the coefficient of correlation and 4% in terms of the edge preservation parameter. The numerical values of these
quantitative parameters indicated the good feature preservation performance of the algorithm, as desired for better diagnosis
in medical image processing. 相似文献

Lossy image compression is thought to be a necessity as radiology moves toward a filmless environment. Compression algorithms based on the discrete cosine transform (DCT) are limited due to the infinite support of the cosine basis function. Wavelets, basis functions that have compact or nearly compact support, are mathematically better suited for decorrelating medical image data. A lossy compression algorithm based on semiorthogonal cubic spline wavelets has been implemented and tested on six different image modalities (magnetic resonance, x-ray computed tomography, single photon emission tomography, digital fluoroscopy, computed radiography, and ultrasound). The fidelity of the reconstructed wavelet images was compared to images compressed with a DCT algorithm for compression ratios of up to 40:1. The wavelet algorithm was found to have generally lower average error metrics and higher peak-signal-to-noise ratios than the DCT algorithm. 相似文献

In this paper, an efficient technique for compression of medical ultrasound (US) images is proposed. The technique is based on wavelet transform of the original image combined with vector quantization (VQ) of high-energy subbands using the LBG algorithm. First, we analyse the statistical behaviour of wavelet coefficients in US images across various subbands and scales. The analysis show that most of the image energy is concentrated in one of the detail subband, either in the vertical detail subband (most of the time) or in the horizontal subband. The other two subbands at each decomposition level contribute negligibly to the total image energy. Then, by exploiting this statistical analysis, a low-complexity image coder is designed, which applies VQ only to the highest energy subband while discarding the other detail subbands at each level of decomposition. The coder is tested on a series of abdominal and uterus greyscale US images. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method clearly outperforms the JPEG2000 (Joint Photographers Expert Group) encoder both qualitatively and quantitatively. For example, without using any entropy coder, the proposed method yields a peak signal to noise ratio gain of 0.2 dB to 1.2 dB over JPEG2000 on medical US images. 相似文献

Many studies on the physiology of the cardiovascular system revealed that nonlinear chaotic dynamics govern the generation of the heart rate signal. This is also valid for the fetal heart rate (FHR) variability, where however the variability is affected by many more factors and is significantly more complicated than for the adult case. Recently an adaptive wavelet denoising method for the Doppler ultrasound FHR recordings has been introduced. In this paper the performance and reliability of that method is confirmed by the observation that for the wavelet denoised FHR signal, a deterministic nonlinear structure, which was concealed by the noise, becomes apparent. It provides strong evidence that the denoising process removes actual noise components and can therefore be utilized for the improvement of the signal quality. Hence by observing after denoising a significant improvement of the 'chaoticity' of the FHR signal we obtain strong evidence for the reliability and efficiency of the wavelet based denoising method. The estimation of the chaoticity of the FHR signal before and after the denoising is approached with three nonlinear analysis methods. First, the rescaled scale analysis (RSA) technique reveals that the denoising process increases the Hurst exponent parameter as happens when additive noise is removed from a chaotic signal. Second, the nonlinear prediction error evaluated with radial basis function (RBF) prediction networks is significantly lower at the denoised signal. The significant gain in predictability can be attributed to the drastic reduction of the additive noise from the signal by the denoising algorithm. Moreover, the evaluation of the correlation coefficient between actual and neural network predicted values as a function of the prediction time displays characteristics of chaos only for the denoised signal. Third, a chaotic attractor, reconstructed with the embedding dimension technique, becomes evident for the denoised signal, while it is completely obscured for the original signals. The correlation dimension of the reconstructed attractor for the denoised signal tends to reach a value independent of the embedding dimension, a sign of deterministic chaotic signal. In contrast for the original signal the correlation dimension increases steadily with the embedding dimension, a fact that indicates strong contribution of noise. 相似文献

Fetal Heart Rate (FHR) monitoring is one of the most important fetal well being tests. Existing FHR monitoring methods are based on Doppler ultrasound technique, which has several disadvantages. Passive fetal monitoring by phonocardiography is an appropriate alternative; however, its implementation is a challenging task due to low energy of fetal heart sounds and multiple interference signals presence. In this paper, an advanced signal processing method for passive fetal monitoring based on adaptive wavelet denoising is presented. The method's performance is compared with Doppler ultrasound monitor. The results show 94-97.5% accuracy, including highly disturbed cases. 相似文献

Investigation of a pulse compression technique for medical ultrasound: a simulation study 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

Pulse compression techniques that are capable of producing a large signal-to-noise (SNR) enhancement, have been used successfully
in many different fields. For medical applications, frequency-dependent attenuation in soft tissue can limit the usefulness
of this method. In the paper, this issue is examined through model-simulation studies. Frequency-modulation (FM) chirp, considered
in the study, is just one form of pulse coding technique. Pulse propagation effects in soft tissue are modelled as a linear
zero phase filter. A method to perform simulations and estimate the effective time-bandwidth product K is outlined. K describes
the SNR enhancement attainable under limitations imposed by the soft-tissue medium. An effective time-bandwidth product is
evaluated as a function of soft-tissue linear attenuation coefficient αo, scatterer depth z and the bandwidth of the interrogating FM pulse, under realistic conditions. Results indicate that, under
certain conditions, K can be significantly lower than its expected value in a non-attenuating medium. It is argued that although
limitations exist, pulse compression techniques can still be used to improve resolution or increase penetrational depth. The
real advantage over conventional short-pulse imaging comes from the possibility that these improvements can be accomplished
without increasing the peak intensity of the interrogating pulse above any threshold levels set by possible bio-effect considerations. 相似文献

Here, the wavelet analysis has been investigated to improve the quality of myoelectric signal before use in prosthetic design. Effective Surface Electromyogram (SEMG) signals were estimated by first decomposing the obtained signal using wavelet transform and then analysing the decomposed coefficients by threshold methods. With the appropriate choice of wavelet, it is possible to reduce interference noise effectively in the SEMG signal. However, the most effective wavelet for SEMG denoising is chosen by calculating the root mean square value and signal power values. The combined results of root mean square value and signal power shows that wavelet db4 performs the best denoising among the wavelets. Furthermore, time domain and frequency domain methods were applied for SEMG signal analysis to investigate the effect of muscle-force contraction on the signal. It was found that, during sustained contractions, the mean frequency (MNF) and median frequency (MDF) increase as muscle force levels increase. 相似文献
