AUTOMATIC CONTOUR DETECTION METHOD FOR ULTRASONIC DIAGNOSIS APPARTUS

摘要

Provided is a method for automatically measuring a region in an ultrasonic image diagnosis apparatus. In the method, an image is processed utilizing an image processing method such as edge detection and homogeneity detection. The boundary of the image to be measured is automatically determined utilizing the processed image. The sizes of the circumference/area/volume of a region inside the determined boundary are automatically measured.
