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...

Ultrasound I: Abdominal Ultrasonography

1.0K
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
  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Signal Processing

Background:

  • Hepatic steatosis, or fatty liver, involves lipid accumulation, potentially leading to severe liver conditions like cirrhosis and cancer.
  • Current computer-aided detection (CAD) systems for liver disease often face limitations such as manufacturer dependency and lengthy computation times.
  • There is a need for efficient, real-time, and manufacturer-independent methods for diagnosing fatty liver disease.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To demonstrate the feasibility of a computationally efficient and manufacturer-independent wavelet-based CAD system for detecting liver steatosis.
  • To evaluate the system's performance using B-mode ultrasound images from both animal and human liver datasets.
  • To assess the reduction in classification time achieved by the proposed wavelet preprocessing technique.

Main Methods:

  • Extracted seven features from the approximation part of the second-level wavelet packet transform (WPT) of ultrasound images.
  • Tested the technique on ex-vivo mice liver datasets (gelatin-embedded and non-embedded) and an in-vivo human liver dataset.
  • Compared the classification performance and time efficiency against original ultrasound images.

Main Results:

  • Achieved high accuracy (up to 98.8%), sensitivity (up to 97.8%), and specificity (up to 100%) on the gelatin-embedded mice liver dataset.
  • Demonstrated significant reductions in frame classification time, from 0.4814s to 0.1444s for gelatin-embedded mice livers and 0.660s to 0.146s for human livers.
  • Obtained 92.5% accuracy, 93.0% sensitivity, and 91.0% specificity on the human liver dataset.

Conclusions:

  • The proposed wavelet-based technique is computationally efficient and manufacturer-independent for liver steatosis detection.
  • This method shows potential for developing non-invasive, real-time CAD systems for fatty liver diagnosis.
  • The wavelet packet transform preprocessing effectively reduces classification time while maintaining high diagnostic accuracy.
