A novel method to quantitatively analyze the fatty liver ultrasonic images based on multiresolution fractal Brownian motion model and genetic algorithm / 生物医学工程学杂志

ABSTRACT

Medical ultrasonic imaging is frequently used for diagnosing the fatty liver disease. In order to help doctors diagnose fatty liver disease more precisely, we need to construct a quantitative assessment system, and in this paper, we propose a method to construct such system with the use of multiresolution fractal Brownian motion model and the genetic algorithm. In such a way, a set of standards can help doctors diagnose the degree of the fatty liver disease more precisely.
