Abstract :
Ultrasound Imaging is a popular modality for better diagnosis and treatment of various diseases. So there is a need to educate a large number of people coming from different backgrounds about Ultrasound Image Processing. The aim of this project is to help beginners in the field of Ultrasound Image Processing to enhance their domain knowledge by making information about Advanced Ultrasound Image Processing Techniques accessible to people from various backgrounds. This is done by using numerous visual examples which allows them to learn image processing through web based exercises. In this paper we describe a Virtual Lab which has been developed for Enhancement of Ultrasound Images using Lee, Frost and SRAD Techniques.
