Research progress on medical ultrasound image segmentation algorithms
Journal Title: Progress in Medical Devices - Year 2023, Vol 1, Issue 3
Abstract
Medical ultrasound imaging is an integral part of preoperative diagnosis, lesion screening and ultrasound-guided interventional surgeries. Image segmentation techniques can enhance the identification of lesions and separate them from complex backgrounds, aiding physicians in both quantitative and qualitative analyses. Ultrasound image segmentation algorithms are primarily categorized into two types: traditional non-semantic segmentation and deep learning-based semantic segmentation, each with distinct advantages and drawbacks. This paper delves into these segmentation principles, elucidating their relevance in the realm of ultrasound image segmentation, and offers an overview of current research trends. Our goal is to provide guidance for physicians and researchers in selecting the most suitable segmentation algorithm that tailors to their specific requirements.
