METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANALYZING ULTRASOUND IMAGES - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18035188 titled 'METHODS AND SYSTEMS FOR ANALYZING ULTRASOUND IMAGES
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a method for analyzing ultrasound images by assessing the quality of the image and the segmentation of the image. The overall quality assessment is then used to determine biometry measurements from the image.
- The method involves analyzing ultrasound images.
- The quality of the image is assessed based on the identification of features of interest.
- The segmentation quality of the image is also assessed.
- The two quality assessments are combined to derive an overall quality assessment.
- The overall quality assessment is used to determine biometry measurements from the image.
Potential Applications
- Medical imaging and diagnostics
- Obstetrics and gynecology
- Cardiology
- Oncology
Problems Solved
- Accurate assessment of ultrasound image quality
- Reliable segmentation of ultrasound images
- Objective determination of biometry measurements
Benefits
- Improved accuracy in biometry measurements
- Objective and standardized assessment of image quality
- Enhanced diagnostic capabilities
Original Abstract Submitted
A method of analyzing an ultrasound image involves assessing the quality of the image in terms of which features of interest have been identified in the image and assessing a segmentation quality relating to the quality of a segmentation of the image. The two quality assessments are combined to derive and output an overall quality assessment for biometry measurements obtained from the image.
