Ultrasound texture-based CAD system for detecting neuromuscular diseases.

Journal: International journal of computer assisted radiology and surgery

Published Date: Sep 1, 2015

Abstract

PURPOSE: Diagnosis of neuromuscular diseases in ultrasonography is a challenging task since experts are often unable to discriminate between healthy and pathological cases. A computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system for skeletal muscle ultrasonography was developed and tested for myositis detection in ultrasound images of biceps brachii.
