DIGITAL IMAGE PROCESSING IN ULTRASOUND IMAGES

Abstract

Image processing plays a vital role in the development of medical industry especially ultrasound medical images. Image acquisition is carried out using ultrasound equipments like transducer, scanner, and CPU and display device. There are mainly four modes of ultrasound imaging A - mode, M - mode, B - mode and Doppler - mode. Ultrasound imaging plays crucial role in medical imaging due to its non - invasive nature, low cost and capability of forming real time imaging. Modern ultrasound systems are signal processing intensive. Advanced techniques of signal processing are used to provide better image quality and higher diagnostic value
