Abstract:Abstract. The ability of ultrasound scanners to image anatomical structures in real time have led to their use in two important applications of medicine, (1) for monitoring the unborn baby (fetal ultrasound), and, (2) coronary treatment of blockages in blood vessels (intravascular ultrasound). The generated images (in the form of a continuous video) are typically noisy and contain numerous artifacts, making it difficult to isolate and measure features of interest. We explore the use of two algorithms, region g… Show more
