Comparison Between Various Color Spectra and Conventional Grayscale Imaging for Detection of Parenchymal Liver Lesions With B‐Mode Sonography

Abstract: Yellow-brown-colorized B-mode sonography appears to be similarly effective for detection of isoechoic parenchymal liver lesions as traditional grayscale sonography. Blue-white colorization in B-mode sonography is probably not as effective as grayscale sonography, although a statistically significant disadvantage was shown only in the subgroup of hyperechoic liver lesions.

“…Human perception of color change is limited and subjective, however, these factors can be eliminated by the suitable manipulation of a simple digital image. 23,24 An ordinary 8-bit RGB color digital image has more than 16 million possible colors and computer vision, which is the image data manipulation through an algorithm, has been successfully applied in several areas such as medical diagnosis, tra c control, facial recognition, autonomous cars, and others. 25,26 We hypothesized that digital image processing would be a sensitive and objective tool to identify color change in a reaction mixture.…”

“…The relation between these two parameters describes the direction angle θ of an imaginary vector that joins that pair of pixels. Considering that an image is usually represented as a matrix which rows are indicated by index i -which grows downwards-and which columns are indicated by index j -which grows rightwards-, the direction angle for a given pair of Offset parameters can be obtained by (9). This angle between a specific pair of pixels in the image is illustrated in Fig.…”

“…In some applications [8], [9], [10] and [11] colored images have too much information that may not be very relevant for the desired application, so grayscale images can be used instead, reducing the amount of information to be processed and, by doing this, simplifying the following processing steps. For both colored and grayscale images, Haralick features -as will be shown later in this work-represent a good choice for texture extraction.…”
