Tunnelling Descent: A New Algorithm for Active Contour Segmentation of Ultrasound Images
The presence of speckle in ultrasound images makes it hard to segment them using active contours. Speckle causes the energy function of the active contours to have many local minim...

A new filtering method for ultrasound images incorporating prior statistics concerning medical features
20 To 50 percent of the neonates with a very low birth weight (VLBW:< 1500 g) suffer from White Matter Damage (leukomalacia). Nowadays the diagnosis of WMD is still solely depe...

Ultrasound Myocardial Tracking with Speckle Reducing Anisotropic Diffusion Assisted Initialization
Cardiac parameters such as end-systolic volume, ejection fraction and myocardial mass are essential to the diagnosis and treatment of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Traditionally, ...

Real-time segmentation of 4D ultrasound by Active Geometric Functions
Four-dimensional ultrasound based on matrix phased array transducers can capture the complex 4D cardiac motion in a complete and real-time fashion. However, the large amount of in...
