Abstract :
As medical images are fuzzy, edge detection based on texture characteristics is comparatively effective than intensity based techniques. A new methodology is described for texture edge detection in medical images that is applicable across modalities. We use a multi-scale filter to capture texture edge information. An experimental prototype based on the proposed methodology provides a test bed for comparison with a popular edge detection technique.
