Pre- and postprocessing algorithms for the correction of position dependencies of image processing parameters in ultrasonographic prostate images

Abstract

Describes position dependent correction algorithms for image processing parameters in ultrasonographic images. The parameters are calculated using the co-occurrence algorithm. By the nature of ultrasound and the rotation of a single element transducer depth- and angle dependencies occur. For angle dependencies a pre-processing algorithm is described. For depth dependencies a post-calculation correction is described.<>
