Abstract
B-mode ultrasound simulation at a physical level was simulated to determine a feature for image analysis. Individual tissues and their interfaces were simulated and analyzed by modeling distributed scatterers. Based on this simulation, the authors have proposed a feature map and have used it for boundary detection
