Hybrid Speckle Noise Reduction Method for Abdominal Circumference Segmentatio...IJECEIAES
Fetal biometric size such as abdominal circumference (AC) is used to predict fetal weight or gestational age in ultrasound images. The automatic biometric measurement can improve efficiency in the ultrasonography examination workflow. The unclear boundaries of the abdomen image and the speckle noise presence are the challenges for the automated AC measurement techniques. The main problem to improve the accuracy of the automatic AC segmentation is how to remove noise while retaining the boundary features of objects. In this paper, we proposed a hybrid ultrasound image denoising framework which was a combination of spatial-based filtering method and multiresolution based method. In this technique, an ultrasound image was decomposed into subbands using wavelet transform. A thresholding technique and the anisotropic diffusion method were applied to the detail subbands, at the same time the bilateral filtering modified the approximation subband. The proposed denoising approach had the best performance in the edge preservation level and could improve the accuracy of the abdominal circumference segmentation.

Breast cancer is one of the leading reason of death among women. Nevertheless, medications for this fatal disease are still away of ambitions. Patients (thought to have breast cancer) should go through several advanced medical diagnostic procedures like mammography, biopsy analysis, ultrasound imaging, etc. Mammography is one of the medical imaging techniques used for detecting breast cancer. However, its resulted images may not be clear enough or helpful for physician to diagnose each case correctly. This fact has pushed researchers towards developing effective ways to enhance images throughout using various enhancement algorithms. In this paper, a comparison amongst these applied algorithms was done to evaluate the optimum enhancement technique. A morphology enhancement, which is resulted from combining top-hat operation and bottom-hat operation, was used as a proposed enhancement algorithm. The proposed enhancement algorithm was compared to three other well-known enhancement algorithms, specifically histogram equalization, logarithmic transform, and gamma correction with different gamma values. Twenty-five mammographic images were taken from the mammography image analysis society (MIAS) database samples. The minimum entropy difference value (EDV) was used as metric to evaluate the best enhancement algorithm. Results has approved that the proposed enhancement algorithm gave the best-enhanced images in comparison to the aforementioned algorithms.

New Noise Reduction Technique for Medical Ultrasound Imaging using Gabor Filt...CSCJournals
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.

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.

Grey-level Co-occurence features for salt texture classificationIgor Orlov
This document summarizes a master's thesis on using grey-level co-occurrence matrices (GLCMs) to classify salt textures in seismic images. The thesis tested different GLCM parameters, developed a new "distance GLCM" feature, and evaluated Gaussian classifiers on various feature combinations. Key results included finding isotropic orientation with a 51x51 window size produced optimal GLCMs, and a classifier using contrast, distance GLCM, and weighted energy features performed best visually on test images. The thesis demonstrated GLCMs for salt texture classification but noted improvements could include 3D GLCMs, combining other texture methods, and generalizing the distance GLCM feature beyond specific class mappings.

Features image processing and ExtactionAli A Jalil
This document discusses various techniques for extracting features and representing shapes from images, including:
1. External representations based on boundary properties and internal representations based on texture and statistical moments.
2. Principal component analysis (PCA) is mentioned as a statistical method for feature extraction.
3. Feature vectors are described as arrays that encode measured features of an image numerically, symbolically, or both.
The document describes two feature extraction methods: attention based and statistics based. The attention based method models how human vision finds salient regions using an architecture that decomposes images into channels and creates image pyramids, then combines the information to generate saliency maps. This method was applied to face recognition but had problems with pose and expression changes. The statistics based method aims to select a subset of important features using criteria based on how well the features represent the original data.
The document discusses image representation and feature extraction techniques. It describes how representation makes image information more accessible for computer interpretation using either boundaries or pixel regions. Feature extraction quantifies these representations by extracting descriptors like geometric properties, statistical moments, and textures. Desirable properties for descriptors include being invariant to transformations, compact, robust to noise, and having low complexity. Various boundary and regional descriptors are defined, such as chain codes, shape numbers, and moments.

Lung cancer, if successfully detected at early stages, enables many treatment options, reduced risk of invasive surgery and increased survival rate. This paper presents a novel approach to detect lung cancer from raw chest X-ray images. At the first stage, we use a pipeline of image processing routines to remove noise and segment the lung from other anatomical structures in the chest X-ray and extract regions that exhibit shape characteristics of lung nodules. Subsequently, first and second order statistical texture features are considered as the inputs to train a neural network to verify whether a region extracted in the first stage is a nodule or not . The proposed approach detected nodules in the diseased area of the lung with an accuracy of 96% using the pixel-based technique while the feature-based technique produced an accuracy of 88%.
An approach for cross-modality guided quality enhancement of liver imageIJECEIAES

Cervical cancer is the second deadliest after breast cancer in Indonesia.
Sundry diagnostic imaging modalities had been used to decide the location
and severity of cervical cancer, one among those is computed tomography
(CT) Scan. This study handles a CT image dataset consisting of two
categories, abnormal cervical images of cervical cancer patients and normal
cervix images of patients with other diseases. It focuses on the ability of
segmentation and classification programs to localize cervical cancer areas
and classify images into normal and abnormal categories based on the
features contained in them. We conferred a novel methodology for the
contour detection round the cervical organ classified with artificial neural
network (ANN) which was employed to categorize the image data. The
segmentation algorithm used was a region-based snake model. The texture
features of the cervical image area were arranged in the form of gray level
co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Support vector machine (SVM) had been
added to determine which algorithm was better for comparison.
Experimental results show that ANN model has better receiver operating
characteristic (ROC) parameter values than SVM model’s and existing
approach’s regarding 96.2% of sensitivity, 95.32% of specificity, and
95.75% of accuracy.

Chest radiograph image enhancement with wavelet decomposition and morphologic...TELKOMNIKA JOURNAL
Medical image processing algorithms significantly affect the precision of disease diagnostic
process. This makes it crucial to improve the quality of a medical image with the goal to enhance
perceivability of the points of interest in order to obtain accurate diagnosis of a patient. Despite the
reliance of various medical diagnostics on X-rays, they are usually plagued by dark and low contrast
properties. Sought-after details in X-rays can only be accessed by means of digital image processing
techniques, despite the fact that these techniques are far from being perfect. In this paper, we implement
a wavelet decomposition and reconstruction technique to enhance radiograph properties, using a series of
morphological erosion and dilation to improve the visual quality of the chest radiographs for the detection of
cancer nodules.
A Novel and Efficient Lifting Scheme based Super Resolution Reconstruction fo...CSCJournals
Mammography is the most effective method for early detection of breast diseases. However, the typical diagnostic signs, such as masses and microcalcifications, are difficult to be detected because mammograms are low contrast and noisy images. We concentrate on a special case of super resolution reconstruction for early detection of cancer from low resolution mammogram images. Super resolution reconstruction is the process of combining several low resolution images into a single higher resolution image. This paper describes a novel approach for enhancing the resolution of mammographic images. We are proposing an efficient lifting wavelet based denoising with adaptive interpolation for super resolution reconstruction. Under this frame work, the digitized low resolution mammographic images are decomposed into many levels to obtain different frequency bands. We use Daubechies (D4) lifting schemes to decompose low resolution mammogram images into multilevel scale and wavelet coefficients. Then our proposed novel soft thresholding technique is used to remove the noisy coefficients, by fixing optimum threshold value. In order to obtain an image of higher resolution adaptive interpolation is applied. Our proposed lifting wavelet transform based restoration and adaptive interpolation preserves the edges as well as smoothens the image without introducing artifacts. The proposed algorithm avoids the application of iterative method, reduces the complexity of calculation and applies to large dimension low-resolution images. Experimental results show that the proposed approach has succeeded in obtaining a high-resolution mammogram image with a high PSNR, ISNR ratio and a good visual quality.

This document summarizes a research paper on computed tomography (CT) dose reduction and view number optimization. It discusses how CT uses X-rays to create images but that radiation exposure is a concern, especially for pediatric patients. The paper explores how iterative reconstruction techniques and compressed sensing theories have aimed to reduce views and dose while maintaining image quality. It presents the goal of investigating the relationship between image quality, view number, and radiation dose level. Numerical tests were performed to determine the optimal view number for a given dose level that achieves the best reconstruction quality.
This document proposes a computer-aided lung cancer classification system using curvelet features and an ensemble classifier. It first pre-processes CT images using adaptive histogram equalization to improve contrast. Then it segments the images using kernelized fuzzy c-means clustering. Curvelet features are extracted from the segmented regions and an ensemble classifier is applied to classify regions as benign or malignant. The proposed approach achieves reliable and accurate classification results compared to existing methods, with better performance metrics like accuracy, sensitivity and specificity.

to 155.9/106, higher than the average level 15.23/106 in China, so this disease is the regional
focus malignant tumors to prevent [5].
CAD can assist the clinician to discover lesions and improve diagnostic accuracy through medical
image processing technology as well as other possible physiological and biochemical methods,
combining with computer analysis and calculation technology. Image feature extraction
technology a cross discipline, has been widely applied in image data mining, pattern recognition
and classification. It’s not only included in the computer vision technology, but also involved in the
image processing, the aim is to extract the image invariant features through computer analysis
and solve practical problems [6]. The gray level histogram method and the GLCM method are
usually used in the image feature extraction. There is no related research on image feature
extraction of high morbidity of kazak esophageal cancer in Xinjiang. Therefore, this study means
a lot to kazak esophageal cancer in Xinjiang.
2. METHODLOGY
In this paper, we selected two kinds of advanced esophageal X-ray barium images, which were
acquired from First Affiliated Hospital, Xinjiang Medical University of China. Classifying them
under the clinician’s guidance, Selecting 60 images, half of them are constricted esophagus and
the rest are ulcerous esophagus. For these selected images, firstly, image preprocessing
approaches were used to preprocess images before the analysis algorithm was applied in order
to keep the useful image information under different conditions, converting RGB image to the
grayscale intensity image by eliminating the hue and saturation information while retaining the
luminance, through median filter to remove the image noise and using histogram equalization to
enhance the contrast; secondly, to extract the gray-scale histogram features and the GLCM
features of the images, then composing the two features into comprehensive feature; Finally,
using Bayes discriminant analysis to verify the classification ability of the comprehensive feature.
2.1 Image Preprocessing
Medical images obtained from the hospital not only contain valid information, but there are also
some noise and the variation caused by the rotation and translation. So, the images cannot be
used directly. The purpose of image preprocessing is to process the image obtained from the
medical apparatus, removing the noise due to external disturbance, enhancing the contrast
between the normal tissue and the pathological tissue, getting the interest region of strong
visuality and contrast, thus providing the better support for the doctor's clinical diagnosis and the
subsequent image processing[7]. In this paper, for the purpose of image feature extraction, the
original image needs to be preprocessed to convert color, remove noise and enhance the
contrast, reducing the influence of the factors mentioned above.
After the image preprocessing, the quality of X-ray barium image was improved significantly, the
contrast of normal tissue and pathological tissue was enhanced apparently and the details of
image were more clearly (see figure 1 and 2 lower right), which laying a good foundation for the
subsequent image extraction of high morbidity of kazak esophageal cancer in Xinjiang,
furthermore, improving the subsequent image classification accuracy.

N represents the total number of pixels in an image. The equation describes the percentage of
the number of i account the total number of pixels in an image. The abscissa is the gray level, the
vertical axis is the frequency of the gradation. Calculating the following statistics to reflect the
image characteristic values [9] on the basis of the gray-scale histogram.

2.3 GLCM Feature Extraction
GLCM reflects the microtexture of an image area. It described the gray correlation of pixel pairs
by a certain spatial relationship [10-11]. GLCM is defined as that starting at the gray level of pixel
i from the image, calculating the probability of the pixel j from the distance d and the angleθ,
reflecting the spatial correlation of gradation between two points in the image.
The space GLCM usually can not be used as texture analysis feature due to its complex
computation, so we extracted the texture feature on the basis of the GLCM. Haralick [12]
proposed 14 kinds of GLCM texture quantitative methods on the basis of the character of texture.
We calculated the following statistic characters:
(1) Angular second moment: Also known as energy, reflecting the uniformity of gray, the rougher
texture moments, the greater energy.

Discriminant analysis is a statistical method, which can estimate the discriminate objects’
category according to their observation results. It has been widely used in the medical filed. Robin
Hanson used Bayes analysis method of unsupervised models’ classification in different
complexity.
Using the gray-scale histogram features and GLCM features extracted to classify the images
through Bayes discriminant analysis. The classification accuracy for constricted esophagus was
86.7%, for ulcerous esophagus was 93.3% (see table 3).

4. CONCLUSION
According to the difference between histogram distribution and texture distribution in different
types of high morbidity of kazak esophageal cancer in Xinjiang, combining with the characteristics
of esophageal cancer, we proposed the feature extraction based on histogram and GLCM
method, combining the extracted gray-scale histogram features and GLCM features into the
comprehensive feature, and then evaluated the feature’s classification ability through Bayes
discriminant analysis. Experimental results show that using comprehensive feature for image
classification has a high accuracy, and feature classification ability is different when classifying
different images, which provides a new direction for the research of computer aided diagnosis
system for the high incidence of kazak esophageal cancer in Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region.
