Image segmentation and observer strategy for elastography
نویسنده
چکیده
Context: This thesis is motivated by the development of elastography technique [6]. This is a medical imaging procedure that measures ultrasonic wave propagation inside a biological tissue and aims at identifying the physical properties of the tissue. These properties are of major importance in many medical applications. For instance, it enables the reproduction of the quantitative palpation of the physician and has relevant diagnosis value.

Breast ultrasound (BUS) imaging is an imaging modality used for the detection and diagnosis of breast lesions and it has become a crucial modality nowadays specially for providing a complementary view when other modalities (i.e. mammography) are not conclusive. However, lesion detection in ultrasound images is still a challenging problem due to the presence of artifacts such as low contrast, sp...
