Ultrasonography

8.4K
Ultrasonography is an imaging technique that uses high-frequency sound waves to visualize the body's internal structures. It is a non-invasive and safe procedure that does not involve the use of ionizing radiation, making it widely used in various medical fields. Ultrasonography is used to study heart function, blood flow in the neck or extremities, certain conditions such as gallbladder disease, and fetal growth and development.
During an ultrasonography procedure, a handheld device called...

Introduction:
Abdominal ultrasonography, commonly known as abdominal ultrasound, is a vital, non-invasive medical imaging technique widely used in healthcare.
Procedure:
This diagnostic tool allows the clinician to visually inspect internal structures within the abdomen, including vital organs such as the liver, gallbladder, pancreas, kidneys, and spleen.
The abdominal ultrasound process begins with applying a special gel to the patient's skin over the abdomen. This gel enhances the...

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Artificial Intelligence
  • Surgical Emergencies

Background:

  • Appendicitis is a common surgical emergency requiring accurate diagnosis.
  • Ultrasound (US) is vital for suspected appendicitis, with appendix diameter being a key metric.
  • Clear visualization of the appendix in US images is essential for diagnosis.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop an intelligent method for automatic appendix extraction from abdominal sonographic images.
  • To create a foundational tool for medical practitioners in diagnosing appendicitis.
  • To improve the accuracy and efficiency of appendix identification in ultrasound scans.

Main Methods:

  • Image processing techniques to accurately locate the lower abdominal fascia line.
  • Application of the fuzzy ART learning algorithm to the organ area for appendix extraction.
  • Utilizing the anatomical location of the appendix below the fascia line.

Main Results:

  • The proposed intelligent method demonstrated high accuracy in appendix extraction.
  • The system was successful in 38 out of 40 tested cases.
  • The method provides a reliable way to delineate the appendix in ultrasound images.

Conclusions:

  • The developed intelligent method offers a highly accurate approach for automatic appendix extraction.
