This paper reviews ultrasound segmentation methods, in a broad sense, focusing on
techniques developed for medical B-mode ultrasound images. First, we present a review of …

Segmentation remains a necessary step in medical imaging to obtain qualitative
measurements such as the location of objects of interest as well as for quantitative …

Speckle is a primary factor which degrades the contrast resolution and masks the
meaningful texture information present in an ultrasound image. Its presence severely …

Ultrasound (US) is among the most popular diagnostic techniques today. It is non-invasive,
fast, comparably cheap, and does not require ionizing radiation. US is commonly used to …

Speckle filtering is of great interest for the ultrasound medical images in which various
noises and artefacts are introduced because of various limitations of the acquisition systems …

The speckle is usually described as a multiplicative noise that significantly corrupts the
quality and contrast in diagnostic ultrasound imaging. Therefore, the development of an …

Background Speckles in ultrasound imaging affect image quality and can make the post-
processing difficult. Speckle reduction technologies have been employed for removing …

Medical imaging plays a vital role in the medical field because it is widely used in diseases
diagnosis and treatment of patients. There are different modalities of medical imaging such …

Ultrasound (US) images are useful in medical diagnosis. US is preferred over other medical
diagnosis technique because it is non-invasive in nature and has low cost. The presence of …

Active contour is a well-known image segmentation technique, commonly used to find object
boundaries in images. Its main benefit is its ability to retrieve an ordered collection of points …
