Abstract
The absence of adequate scientific resources in the area of medical sciences sometimes leads to improper diagnosis of diseases and hence the treatments of such diseases are affected badly. However, with the advancement of technology, the complicacy of various malfunctions inside the human body reduces. Ultrasound imaging is one of the biomedical scanning techniques that let the pathologist make comment reasonably and accurately on the disease or irregularity seen in the scan while low imaging quality lets the diagnosis go wrong. Even a little distortion can route the pathologist away from the main cause of the disease. In this research work, the enhancement of dark ultrasound images has been done. An algorithm is developed using enhancement technique for nonuniform and uniform dark images. Finally, we compared the quality of the processed and unprocessed images. Both ETNUD and mean and median filtering techniques were used for image analysis.
Highlights
Digital image processing (DIP) is the broader and significant area of research and possess its application practically and virtually everywhere [1,2,3,4]
NASA’s Mars Exploration Rover Project, surveillance, emotion recognition components, inspecting robotic eye, monitoring the sediments load in rivers, video editing, and many other fields are some major applications of digital image processing [5,6,7,8,9,10,11]
The high frequency sound waves are transmitted into the human body with the help of ultrasound probe
Summary
Digital image processing (DIP) is the broader and significant area of research and possess its application practically and virtually everywhere [1,2,3,4]. Medical imaging is a science that depicts different human body parts under observation [17]. Among all medical imaging tests, ultrasound is considered as the safest till and emerged as a major tool for the diagnosis of irregularity or malfunction inside human body [23]. The high frequency sound waves are transmitted into the human body with the help of ultrasound probe (transducer/electric instrument used for conversion of energy). These sound waves penetrate through the body and are reflected from inside the body parts with variable texture. The echoes of the sounds reflected off the different tissues are collected by the transducer probe [23]. Several image enhancement techniques have been purposed by different researchers to enhance the quality of ultrasound images specific to a particular disease [24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32]
