This brief proposes a field programmable gate array (FPGA) based real-time inference machine for A-mode ultrasonic echo pattern recognition. The proposed scheme can aid probe positioning of single-transducer ultrasound devices by detecting specific patterns on scanline. is combination support vector and finite state machine. utilizes minimal pre-processing feature extraction, considering nature...

Background: Ovarian immature teratoma is a very rare type of tumor associated with a high relapse rate and mortality. Correspondingly, early diagnosis is important for effective treatment. The goal of this study was to retrospectively analyze the ultrasound characteristics of 11 cases of immature teratomas. Materials and Methods: Between January 2002 and December 2010, 11 patients were diagnose...

OBJECTIVE To identify clinical and ultrasonographic features that may help in predicting malignant tumors in patients with a diagnosis of follicular neoplasm on findings from fine-needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) because FNAC diagnosis of follicular neoplasm does not differentiate a benign tumor from a malignant tumor. DESIGN Prospective study of 98 patients having a diagnosis of follicular ...

The correlation function of the echo signal intensities at detectability via spatial and frequency compounding [2–5]. These a fixed region on a series of B-mode images is directly related to the speckle reduction methods involve the averaging of images in change of speckle patterns between these images. An indication is which the speckle pattern has been changed. Recently, assessment given here...
