An Approach towards Ultrasound Kidney Cysts Detection using Vector Graphic Image Analysis
Wan Mahani Hafizah Wan Mahmud, Eko Supriyanto · IOP Conference Series Materials Science and Engineering · 2017
This study develops new approach towards detection of kidney ultrasound image for both with single cyst as well as multiple cysts.50 single cyst images and 25 multiple cysts images were used to test the developed algorithm.Steps involved in developing this algorithm were vector graphic image formation and analysis, thresholding, binarization, filtering as well as roundness test.Performance evaluation to 50 single cyst images gave accuracy of 92%, while for multiple cysts images, the accuracy was about 86.89% when tested to 25 multiple cysts images.This developed algorithm may be used in developing a computerized system such as computer aided diagnosis system to help medical experts in diagnosis of kidney cysts.
