Recognition of ultrasound images using wavelet transform and artificial neural networks

Abstract

It is presented the development of two methods for recognition of ultrasound images (US) using artificial neural networks (ANN). In the first method, a neural network of the backpropagation type was used, and the second one it has been implemented a stage of extraction of characteristics applying the wavelet transform before ANN using. The experimental results have shown the advantages and drawbacks of each a method
