Fuzzy based subcutaneous fat assessment in real time ultrasound images
نویسندگان
چکیده
The present work addresses the study of techniques of digital image processing based on fuzzy logic for subcutaneous fat (SF) estimation in real time ultrasound (RTU) images. The process for SF automatic estimation in RTU images is divided into two steps: the identification of the image area corresponding to the SF regions and, from these regions, the SF estimation. In order to deal with the ambiguity present in the gray levels of RTU images, fuzzy logic based methods are used. Experimental results are also presented.

Background: Currently, there are many techniques to measure subcutaneous body fat but these methods have many limitations. In this study, we tried to provide a clustering algorithm to measure the thickness of subcutaneous fat in thermography images. Methods: For the detection of subcutaneous adipose tissue in the midline area (from pubis to the xiphoid process), imaging takes place in the righ...

In this paper, a real-time denoising filter based on modelling of stable hybrid models is presented. Thehybrid models are composed of the shearlet filter and the adaptive Wiener filter in different forms.The optimization of various models is accomplished by the genetic algorithm. Next, regarding thesignificant relationship between Optimal models and input images, changing the structure of Optim...
متن کاملIn vivo assessment of subcutaneous fat in dogs by real-time ultrasonography and image analysis
BACKGROUND Systems for estimating body condition score (BCS) are currently used in canine practice to monitor fatness levels. These tools are cheap and easy to use but lack the necessary precision to monitor small changes in body fat, particularly during weight control treatments or in research. The present work aims to study the application of real-time ultrasonography (RTU) together with imag...

Background: Accurate and early detection of non-alcoholic fatty liver, which is a major cause of chronic diseases is very important and is vital to prevent the complications associated with this disease. Ultrasound of the liver is the most common and widely performed method of diagnosing fatty liver. However, due to the low quality of ultrasound images, the need for an automatic and intelligent...

Ultrasonic measurements were taken on 46 sheep using a real-time ultrasound machine equipped with 2 probes (5 and 7.5 MHz). Measurements of subcutaneous fat thickness (SC) and muscle LM depth (MD) and area (MA) were taken at 2 locations: over the 13th thoracic vertebra (SC13, MD13, and MA13, respectively) and at the interval between the third and fourth lumbar vertebrae (SC34, MD34, and MA34, r...
