Abstract

SHS investigation development is considered from the geographical and historical viewpoint. 3 stages are described. Within Stage 1 the work was carried out in the Department of the Institute of Chemical Physics in Chernogolovka where the scientific discovery had been made. At Stage 2 the interest to SHS arose in different cities and towns of the former USSR. Within Stage 3 SHS entered the international scene. Now SHS processes and products are being studied in more than 50 countries.

Abstract

Research on medical image registration and segmentation are currently one of the most active areas in the particular field of medical image analysis and computer vision and pattern recognition in general. This chapter describes the main difficulties, objectives and methodology to approach three different challenges related to medical ultrasound image analysis: freehand image reconstruction, breast mass detection and multi-modality image registration. We propose novel approaches to solve those particular problems and present evaluation in terms of quantitative and qualitative analysis using our own image dataset.

Keywords:

ultrasound imaging, medical image analysis, image registration, image segmentation, Freehand 3D reconstruction
