New Noise Reduction Technique for Medical Ultrasound Imaging using Gabor Filt...CSCJournals
Â
Ultrasound (US) imaging is an important medical diagnostic method, as it allows the examination of several internal body organs. However, its usefulness is diminished by signal dependent noise known as speckle noise. Speckle noise degrades target detectability in ultrasound images and reduces contrast and resolution, affecting the ability to identify normal and pathological tissue. For accurate diagnosis, it is important to remove this noise from ultrasound images. In this study, a new filtering technique is proposed for removing speckle noise from medical ultrasound images. It is based on Gabor filtering. Specifically, a preprocessing step is added before applying the Gabor filter. The proposed technique is applied to various ultrasound images, and certain measurement indexes are calculated, such as signal to noise ratio, peak signal to noise ratio, structure similarity index, and root mean square error, which are used for comparison. In particular, five widely used image enhancement techniques were applied to three types of ultrasound images (kidney, abdomen and ortho). The main objective of image enhancement is to obtain a highly detailed image, and in that respect, the proposed technique proved superior to other widely used filters.

Medical Images are regularly of low contrast and boisterous/Noisy (absence of clarity) because of
the circumstances they are being taken. De-noising these pictures is a troublesome undertaking as they
ought to exclude any antiquities or obscuring of edges in the pictures. The Bayesian shrinkage strategy has
been chosen for thresholding in light of its sub band reliance property. The spatial space and Wavelet
based de-noising systems utilizing delicate thresholding strategy are contrasted and the proposed technique
utilizing GA (Genetic Algorithm) is used. The GA procedure is proposed in view of PSNR and results are
contrasted and existing spatial space and wavelet based de-noising separating strategies. The proposed
calculation gives improved visual clarity to diagnosing the restorative pictures. The proposed strategy in
view of GA surveys the better execution on the premise of the quantitative metric i.e PSNR (Peak Signal

Brain tumor segmentation is a very important task in medical image processing. Early diagnosis of brain tumors plays a crucial role in improving treatment possibilities and increases the survival rate of the patients. For the study of tumor detection and segmentation, MRI Images are very useful in recent years. One of the foremost crucial tasks in any brain tumor detection system is that the detachment of abnormal tissues from normal brain tissues. Because of MRI Images, we will detect the brain tumor. Detection of unusual growth of tissues and blocks of blood within the system is seen in an MRI Imaging. Brain tumor detection using MRI images may be a challenging task due to the brains complex structure.In this paper, we propose an image segmentation method to detect tumors from MRI images using an interface of GUI in MATLAB. The method of distinguishing brain tumors through MRI images is often sorted into four sections of image processing as pre processing, feature extraction, image segmentation, and image classification. During this paper, weve used various algorithms for the partial fulfillment of the necessities to hit the simplest results that may help us to detect brain tumors within the early stage.

provides high resolution in time-frequency domains and thus
finds use in object recognition, character recognition and
pattern recognition applications. Medical Image analysis
using image processing algorithms is one of the best ways of
diagnosing diseases inside human body. The Gabor wavelets
resemble the visual cortex cell operation of mammalian
brains and hence are best suited for biological image analysis.

novel fusion framework based on singular value decomposition - based image fusion algorithm is proposed.
SVD is an image adaptive transform, it transforms the matrix of the given image into product USVT

allows to refactor a digital image into three matrices called tensors. The proposed algorithm picks out
informative image patches of source images to constitute the fused image by processing the divided subtensors

EV-SIFT - An Extended Scale Invariant Face Recognition for Plastic Surgery Fa...IJECEIAES
Â
This paper presents a new technique called Entropy based SIFT (EV-SIFT) for accurate face recognition after the plastic surgery. The corresponding feature extracts the key points and volume of the scale-space structure for which the information rate is determined. This provides least effect on uncertain variations in the face since the entropy is the higher order statistical feature. The corresponding EV-SIFT features are applied to the Support vector machine for classification. The normal SIFT feature extracts the key points based on the contrast of the image and the V- SIFT feature extracts the key points based on the volume of the structure. However, the EV- SIFT method provides both the contrast and volume information. Thus EV-SIFT provide better performance when compared with PCA, normal SIFT and VSIFT based feature extraction.

A novel medical image segmentation and classification using combined feature ...eSAT Journals
Â
Abstract Diagnosis is the first step before giving a medicine to the patient. In the recent past such diagnosis is performed using medical images where segmentation is the prime part in the medical image retrieval which improves the feature set that is collected from the segmented image. In this paper, it is proposed to segment the medical image a semi decision algorithm that can segment only the tumor part from the CT image. Further texture based techniques are used to extract the feature vector from the segmented region of interest. Medical images under test are classified using decision tree classifier. Results show better performance in terms of accuracy when compared to the conventional methods. Key Words: Medical Images, Decision Tree Classifier, Segmentation, Semi-decision algorithm
In recent days, skin cancer is seen as one of the most Hazardous form of the cancer found in Humans. Skin Cancer is a malignant tumor that grows in the skin cells. It can be affected mostly by the reason of skin burn caused by sunlight. Early detection and treatment of Skin cancer can significantly improve patient outcome. Automatic detection is one of the most challenging research areas that can be used for early detection of such vital cancer. A personâs in which they have inadequate amount of melanoma will be exposed to the risk of sun burns and the ultra violet rays from the sun will be affected that body. Malignant melanomas is a type of melanoma that has irregular borders, color variations so analyze the shape, color and texture of the skin lesion is important for the early detection. It can have the components of an automated image analysis module, which contains image acquisition, hair detection and exclusion, lesion segmentation, feature extraction and finally classification. Finally the result show that the system is efficient achieving classification of the lesion as either melanoma or Non melanoma causes.

Due to diagnosis problem in detecting lung Cancer, it becomes the most dangerous cancer seen in human being. Because of early diagnosis, the survival rate among people is increased. The prediction of lung cancer is the most challenging cancer problem, due to its structure of cells in human body. In which most of tissues or cells are overlapping on one another. Now-a-days, the use of images processing techniques is increased in growing medical field for its disease diagnosis, where the time factor plays important role. Detecting cancer within a time, increases the survival rate of patients. Many radiologists still use MRI only for assessment of superior sulcus tumors and in cases where invasion of spinal cord canal is suspected. MRI can detect and stage lung cancer and this method would be excellent of lung malignancies and other diseases.

Review of Image Segmentation Techniques based on Region Merging ApproachEditor IJMTER
Â
Image segmentation is an important task in computer vision and object recognition. Since
fully automatic image segmentation is usually very hard for natural images, interactive schemes with a
few simple user inputs are good solutions. In image segmentation the image is dividing into various
segments for processing images. The complexity of image content is a bigger challenge for carrying out
automatic image segmentation. On regions based scheme, the images are merged based on the similarity
criteria depending upon comparing the mean values of both the regions to be merged. So, the similar
regions are then merged and the dissimilar regions are merged together.

I. INTRODUCTION
Medical image processing is a field of science that is gaining wide acceptance in healthcare industry
due to its technological advances and software breakthroughs. It plays a vital role in disease diagnosis and
improved patient care and helps medical practitioners during decision making with regard to the type of
treatment. Several state-of-the-art equipments produce human organs in digital form. Examples of such devices
include X-Ray, Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Ultrasound (US), Positron
Emission Tomography (PET) and Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography (SPECT). Out of these, X-
Ray is one the oldest and frequently used devices, as they are non-invasive, painless and economical. A bone x-
ray makes images of any bone in the body, including the hand, wrist, arm, elbow, shoulder, foot, ankle, leg
(shin), knee, thigh, hip, pelvis or spine [2]. A typical bone ailment is the fracture, which occurs when bone
cannot withstand outside force like direct blows, twisting injuries and falls. Fractures are cracks in bones and are
defined as a medical condition in which there is a break in the continuity of the bone. Detection and correct
treatment of fractures are considered important, as a wrong diagnosis often lead to ineffective patient
management, increased dissatisfaction and expensive litigation. The importance of fracture detection comes
from the fact that in clinical practice, a tired radiologist has been found to miss fracture cases after looking
through many images containing healthy bones [1]. Computer detection of fractures can assist the doctors by
flagging suspicious cases for closer examinations and thus improve the timeliness and accuracy of their
diagnosis. An automatic fracture detection system consists of three main steps, namely, preprocessing,
segmentation and fracture detection. Preprocessing consists of procedures that enhance the x-ray input image in
a way that its result improves the fracture detection process. The segmentation process consists of two steps.
The first step separates the bone structure from the IR image and the second step identifies the diaphysis region
from the segmented bone structure. The third step, that is, Fracture Detection determines the presence or
absence of fracture in the segmented image. In fracture detection applications, detecting a fracture accurately is
often a difficult and challenging task.
II. PRINCIPLE
The principle behind bone detection using Infrared Imaging works is very simple. NIR spectrum light
takes advantage of the optical window in which skin, tissue, and bone are mostly transparent to NIR light in the
spectrum of 700-900 nm, while hemoglobin (Hb) and deoxygenated-hemoglobin (deoxy-Hb) are stronger
absorbers of light..
ABSTRACT:
Automatic detection of fractures from IR images is considered as an important process in
medical image analysis by both orthopedic and radiologic point of view. X-Ray is one of the oldest and
frequently used devices, as they are non-invasive, painless and economical. A bone x-ray makes images
of any bone in the body and a typical bone ailment is the fracture, which are cracks in bones. Detection
and correct treatment of fractures are considered important, as a wrong diagnosis often lead to
ineffective patient management, increased dissatisfaction and expensive litigation. This paper proposes
a fusion-classification technique for automatic fracture detection from bones, in particular the hand
bones. The proposed system has four steps, namely, preprocessing, segmentation, feature extraction and
bone detection, which use an amalgamation of image processing techniques for successful detection of
fractures. The results from various experiments prove that the proposed system is shows significant
improvement in terms of detection rate and speed of classification.
INDEX TERMS: Preprocessing, Segmentation, Filtering, Thinning, Classifiers.

Fig 1. Prototype Model
Differences in the absorption spectra of deoxy-Hb and oxy-Hb allow the measurement of relative
changes in hemoglobin concentration through the use of light attenuation at multiple wavelengths. The figure 1
shows the block diagram of the proposed model. The part to be tested is captured by the IR camera, then the
image is processed by using MATLAB. The initial step is to enhance the contrast of image, subsequently the
noises are removed by filtering process. Then Region of interest(ROI) is cropped for further process, where the
image is binarized which helps in determining the structure of the bone. The advantage that Biometrics presents
is that the information is unique for each individual and that it can identify the individual in spite of variations in
the time (it does not matter if the first biometric sample was taken year ago).

III. PREPROCESSING
Pre-processing is a common name for operations with images at the lowest level of abstraction -- both
input and output are intensity images. The aim of pre-processing is an improvement of the image data that
suppresses unwanted distortions or enhances some image features important for further processing. There are
two process carried out in pre-processing:
A. Adaptive Histogram Equalization(AHE)
B. Filtering
A. ADAPTIVE HISTOGRAM EQUALIZATION:
The important step in preprocessing is the histogram equalization. This is an extension to traditional
Histogram Equalization technique. It enhances the contrast of images by transforming the values in the intensity
image. Unlike histogram equalization, it operates on small data regions (tiles), rather than the entire image. Each
tile's contrast is enhanced, so that the histogram of the output region approximately matches the specified
histogram. The neighboring tiles are then combined using bilinear interpolation in order to eliminate artificially
3. Instant fracture detection using ir-rays
www.ijceronline.com Open Access Journal Page 3
induced boundaries. The contrast, especially in homogeneous areas, can be limited in order to avoid amplifying
the noise which might be present in the image [3].
Captured Image AHE
Fig.3 Histogram Equalization stage
B. FILTERING
Filtering is a technique for modifying or enhancing an image. For example, you can filter an image to
emphasize certain features or remove other features. Image processing operations implemented with filtering
include smoothing, sharpening, and edge enhancement. Here we have used mean filtering
enhancement. Here we have used mean filtering.
AHE Filtered output
Fig.4 Filtering stage
ďˇ MEAN FILTER:
Mean filtering is a simple, intuitive and easy to implement method of smoothing images, i.e. reducing the amount
of intensity variation between one pixel and the next. It is often used to reduce noise in images [4]. The idea of mean
filtering is simply to replace each pixel value in an image with the mean (`average') value of its neighbors, including itself.
This has the effect of eliminating pixel values which are unrepresentative of their surroundings.
IV. SEGMENTATION
Segmentation partitions an image into distinct regions containing each pixels with similar attributes. To
be meaningful and useful for image analysis and interpretation, the regions should strongly relate to depicted
objects or features of interest. Image segmentation is a process in which regions or features sharing similar
characteristics are identified and grouped together. Meaningful segmentation is the first step from low-level
image processing transforming a greyscale or colour image into one or more other images to high-level image
description in terms of features, objects, and scenes. The success of image analysis depends on reliability of
segmentation, but an accurate partitioning of an image is generally a very challenging problem.
Segmentation has one main objectives:
1) The one objective is to crop the image for further analysis known as Region of Interest (ROI).
C. REGION OF INTEREST
A region of interest (ROI) is a portion of an image that you want to filter or perform some other
operation on, which is a binary image that is the same size as the image you want to process with pixels that
define the ROI set to 1 and all other pixels set to 0. You can define more than one ROI in an image.
Original image Cropped image
Fig.5 Auto cropping result
4. Instant fracture detection using ir-rays
www.ijceronline.com Open Access Journal Page 4
The regions can be geographic in nature, such as polygons that encompass contiguous pixels, or they
can be defined by a range of intensities. In this case we have used the pixels to crop the region of interest.
In this stage the ROI is determined using auto cropping approach. Using cropping we segment the
image smoothly. Image cropping process is less complexity in process and time, since the area under process
will be reduced. Two types of cropping technique were used; manual and automatic cropping. Manual cropping
is achieved using MatlabÂŽ function (imcrop), but it may cause false cropping rectangle and it is tedious work
[5]. While automatic cropping is saving more work and it is reducing a processing time over and above the
cropping rectangle is truly detecting.
V. BINARIZATION
The Binarization technique is aimed to be used as a primary phase in various manuscript analysis,
processing and retrieval tasks. So, the unique manuscript characteristics, like textual properties, graphics, line
drawings and complex mixtures of the layout-semantics should be included in the requirements. On the other
hand, the technique should be simple while taking all the document analysis demands into consideration. The
threshold evaluation techniques are adapted to textual and non-textual area properties, with the special tolerance
and detection to different basic defect types that are usually introduced to images. The outcome of these
techniques represents a threshold value proposed for each pixel. These values are used to collect the final
outcome of the binarization by a threshold control module [6].The Simplest method for image binarization is
thresholding. The output of the thresholding process is a binary image whose gray level value 0 (black) will
indicate a pixel belonging to a print, legend, drawing, or target and a gray level value 1 (white) will indicate the
background. Thresholding divides the image into patches, and each patch is thresholding by a threshold value
that depends on the patch contents [7]. In order to decrease the effects of noise, common practice is to first
smooth a boundary prior to partitioning.To perform a change of representation, to achieve this we have used a
thresholding algorithm known as Otsuâs algorithm.
D. Otsuâs ALGORITHM
Otsu's method is used to automatically perform clustering-based image thresholding, or, the reduction of a
graylevel image to a binary image. The algorithm
Fig.5 Binarized Output
assumes that the image contains two classes of pixels following bi-modal histogram (foreground pixels and
background pixels), it then calculates the optimum threshold separating the two classes so that their combined
spread (intra-class variance) is minimal.
VI. THINNING
Thinning is an image processing operation in which binary valued image regions are reduced to lines
that approximate the center skeletons of the regions [8]. It is usually required that the lines of the thinned result
are connected for each single image region, then these can be used to infer shape and topology in the original
image. Thinning techniques have been applied in many fields such as automated industrial inspection, pattern
recognition, biological shape description and image coding etc. the main objective of thinning is to improve
efficiency, to reduce transmission time [9]. The skeleton of an object is a line connecting the points midway
between the boundaries. The skeleton refers to the âboneâ of an image.
VII. CLASSIFIERS
Classification includes a broad range of decision-theoretic approaches to the identification of images
(or parts thereof). All classification algorithms are based on the assumption that the image in question depicts
one or more features and that each of these features belongs to one of several distinct and exclusive classes [10].
The classes may be specified a priori by an analyst (as in supervised classification) or automatically clustered
into sets of prototype classes, where the analyst merely specifies the number of desired categories.
5. Instant fracture detection using ir-rays
www.ijceronline.com Open Access Journal Page 5
The intent of the classification process is to categorize all pixels in a digital image into one of several
land cover classes, or "themes". This categorized data may then be used to produce thematic maps of the land
cover present in an image. Normally, multispectral data are used to perform the classification and, indeed, the
spectral pattern present within the data for each pixel is used as the numerical basis for categorization.
CONCLUSION
This paper proposes new approach of fracture detection at emergencies. It is compact, reliable and very
cost effective when compared to conventional methods of detection. These results are promising at this
particular wavelength (450nm). Further we are planning to improve our results with different IR wavelengths
and various algorithms to improve the quality of the resultant output.
