INTRODUCTION TO
ULTRASOUND
Sound wave, frequency (>20 KHz)
A longitudnal wave
Ultrasound imaging uses pulse-echo technique.

USES OF ULTRASOUND
IMAGING
Used widely by radiologists to detect
tumors and abnormalities.
Neonatal imaging

EXISTING SYSTEM vs.

SYSTEM BEING DEVELOPED

Existing- no proper clarity as such

- hence misinterpretations often

- miss critical disease condition
Proposed system- proper clarity
- segmentation added
- hence, easy diagnosis

REQUIREMENT ANALYSIS
Hardware Requirements
Requirements
-2 GB hard disk
(version:7.5.0.342)
-Any Intel or AMD x86 processor
-160 MHz processor speed
-1024 Mb RAM
-OS- Windows XP

Software
MATLAB
Field II

PROJECT PLANNING
Simulation of ultrasound image by FIELD II
Using Digital Imaging Processing toolbox of
MATLAB
Improving noise performance of ultrasound
image

TECHNIQUES USED

Spatial averaging
Segmentation
