Internet broadcasts these medical images to inaccessible sites of the globe which are inspected by specialist doctors. But data transmissions through unsecured web invoke validation problems for any image data. Medical images that are transmitted through the internet must be watermarked with patient pictures for substantiation by the doctors to ascertain the medical image. Watermarking medical images necessitate attentive adjustments to protect the information in the medical images with patient image watermarks. The medical images are used as an envelope image in the watermarking process which is visible on the network. These envelope medical images are watermarked with patient images in wavelet domain there by using the BAT algorithm form optimizing the embedding process for peak signal to noise ratio (psnr) and normalized cross correlation coefficient (ncc) values. The medical image envelope and letter inside envelope i.e. watermark image are transformed into wavelet domain and are mixed using scaling factor alpha which is termed as embedding strength. BAT algorithm is an optimization algorithm specialized in optimizing the values of peak-signal-to-noise ratio for a particular value of alpha, the embedding watermark strength. Finally these watermarked medical images are put on the network along with the secret key that will be used for extraction. At the receiving the embedded watermark is extracted using 2DWT using the embedding strength value using BAT algorithm. The robustness of the proposed watermarking techniques is tested with various attacks on the watermarked medical images. Peak-Signal-to-Noise ratios and Normalized cross correlation coefficients are computed to accesses the quality of the watermarked medical images and extracted patient images. The results are produced for three types of medical images with one patient image watermarks using single key by using four wavelets (haar, db, symlets, bior) at four different levels.","PeriodicalId":432479,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Engineering Systems","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122669140","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Noise removal forms one of the applications of segmentation. It is also the basic tool for the medical diagnosis. It helps the medical practitioner to extract the defected organ easily and give a proper diagnosis. The present scenario is to concentrate on extracting the desired tissue from the noisy image obtained through ultrasound scanning methods. Ultrasound images are the predominantly used scanning approaches because of their low-cost and non-invasive nature. Elimination of the speckle from ultrasound is the demanding aspect. This paper focuses on various researches on speckle removal in ultrasound images. Emphasis is made on which method best removes the speckle noise by measuring various parameters such as signal to noise ratio, efficiency, etc,. In this paper it is also proposed to use a well-defined and well framed approach to reduce speckle noise in ultrasound images and improve signal to noise ratio of the obtained image compared to existing methods.","PeriodicalId":432479,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Engineering Systems","volume":"72 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114787011","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Fetal ECG is extracted from the mother's abdomen by using least-mean-square (LMS) adaptive filter based on the FIR filter coefficients. This FECG is used to calculate the fetal heart beat and the period of the signal based on our estimation. By using this system FECG can be taken after the pregnancy of 20 weeks. To take FECG in real time, maternal woman should wear a wide belt around her abdomen which is fitted with several ECG electrodes. The data collected from the electrodes are sent to a system and then analyzed with the help of adaptive noise canceller algorithm, which is used to separate the signals. This separation is here done based on predefined values by using the Lab VIEW tool. And also the FIR filter has been designed and simulated using Xilinx ISE 12.1 and implemented in Spartan 3 Family FPGA.","PeriodicalId":432479,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Engineering Systems","volume":"672 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116103851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

As the heart size varies in a cardiac cycle, the characteristic variation of the propagation parameters such as reflection coefficient, signal attenuation etc., which depend on the wave propagation distances and frequency dependent dielectric properties of human body tissues are calculated. This is performed using the analytical impedance transformation method to account for the effect of multiple reflections. This estimation will be useful for the frequency dependent power budget analysis in the design of an ultra-wideband radar based contactless, non-invasive diagnostic tool for study of human cardiac activity.","PeriodicalId":432479,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Engineering Systems","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116299652","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On the world scale, cancer stands in the fifth position which causes death. Among the various cancers, liver cancer stands in the third position. Liver cancer is generally diagnosed by three different test like blood test, image test and biopsy. To make the task of detecting the liver cancer simpler, less time consuming, an effective and efficient approach is adopted for the same. In this research a computer aided diagnostic system for detecting liver cancer is put forward. The proposed detection methodology makes use of MRI, CT and USG scan imagery. K-means clustering technique is adopted so as to segment the images in order to capture the region of interest. Later, Haar wavelet transform is considered to compute the threshold values for the region of interest. The experiment put forth gave an average accuracy of 82% besides reducing the time complexity and computational complexity of the test.","PeriodicalId":432479,"journal":{"name":"2015 International Conference on Signal Processing and Communication Engineering Systems","volume":"59 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134414280","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
