Abstract
No previous studies have quantitatively assessed the effect of color tones on ultrasound texture analysis techniques. Our objective was to compare heterogeneity index (HI) between fetal lung images captured in grayscale and those same images after conversion to Ice and Sepia. Fetal lung images were obtained during medically indicated ultrasound examinations. We observed that HI is affected by the application of color tones to ultrasound images of the fetal lung. Therefore, for each type of biological tissue and color tone, determination of distinct HI nomograms and cut off points is recommended.
