Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) To develop a boundary extraction method, and to evaluate an appropriateness of the extracted boundary from ultrasound image is a significant problem, because of the ambiguity of ultrasound characteristic and the obscurity of tissue boundary. This paper presents a new method for an automatic tissue extraction from medical ultrasound image, and a method for quantitative evaluation of extracted boundary. We propose a novel method of the automatic tissue boundary extraction by using fuzzy morphology in order to cope with the ambiguous and obscure ultrasound image. We also propose a quantitative evaluation which is considered as the statistical characteristic and the gradient or distribution of level from the original image in order to evaluate the proper extracted boundary. Furthermore, we clarify a relation of boundary with structuring element in connection to fuzzy morphology that is used in the boundary extraction.
