Ultrasonography

7.3K
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

1.2K
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...

Calibration Curves: Correlation Coefficient01:10

Calibration Curves: Correlation Coefficient

4.5K
In a linear calibration curve, there is a value called the calibration coefficient, denoted by 'r,' which measures the strength and the direction of association between two variables. The correlation coefficient value ranges from −1 to +1. A value of +1 indicates a perfect positive linear correlation, −1 denotes a perfect negative correlation, and 0 implies no correlation between the two variables. A positive correlation value establishes that as one variable increases, the...

Imaging Studies III: Computed Tomography

261
DefinitionComputed Tomography (CT) of the genitourinary (GU) tract is a non-invasive imaging modality that utilizes X-rays and computer processing to generate detailed cross-sectional images of the urinary system, encompassing the kidneys, ureters, bladder, and adjacent structures such as the adrenal glands.PurposeCT scans of the GU tract serve several diagnostic and therapeutic purposes, including:Diagnosis of Urinary Tract Diseases: Detects kidney stones, tumors, cysts, and congenital...

    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biomedical Engineering
    • Radiology

    Background:

    • Accurate tumor classification in breast ultrasound is crucial for patient outcomes.
    • Second-order statistics, while common, may not fully capture complex image information.
    • Third-order statistics offer a more comprehensive analysis of image data.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To introduce and evaluate third-order statistical features for distinguishing benign from malignant breast tumors.
    • To compare the performance of third-order features against second-order features in ultrasound image classification.
    • To assess the potential of third-order statistics for improving breast tumor diagnosis.

    Main Methods:

    • Extracted third-order statistical features (mean, standard deviation, kurtosis, skewness, entropy) from triple correlation distributions.
    • Utilized random forest classification to evaluate feature performance.
    • Compared classification metrics (accuracy, F1 score, specificity, precision) between third-order and second-order features.

    Main Results:

    • Third-order statistical features significantly outperformed second-order features across key classification metrics.
    • Enhanced accuracy, F1 score, specificity, and precision were observed with third-order features.
    • Third-order statistics revealed previously unrecognized patterns in breast ultrasound images.

    Conclusions:

    • Third-order statistical features provide a powerful tool for improving breast tumor classification in ultrasound.
    • This novel approach offers valuable insights for borderline or questionable tumor pathology.
    • The methodology shows potential for application in mammography and MRI as well.
