| 摘要 |
A method of detecting a candidate abnormality in a sonographic medical image, based on determining a radial gradient index (RGI) at plural pixels, producing an RGI image, thresholding the RGI image, determining a candidate abnormality based on the thresholding step, and locating a center point of the candidate abnormality. The candidate abnormality may be classified by segmenting the candidate abnormality, including determining average radial gradients (ARDs) in the sonographic medical image based on the center point, extracting plural features from the segmented candidate abnormality, and determining a likelihood of the candidate abnormality being an actual abnormality based on the extracted plural features.
