Measure the Parameters of Morphology of Pathology by Image Processing Toolbox / 中国医学物理学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective: Digital images processing is widely applied in the fields of biology and medicine, and some achievements have been gained by this technique. But there is few reports on measure the parameters of morphology of pathology from the patients which were threated by ovulation induction, by computer processing techniques. The work shows it has significant value in clinical diagnosis and reproductive medicine at present and in the future. Methods: Write the programmeces by Image Processing Toolbox in MATLAB. The original pathology images are preprocessed by 4 steps: step 1 read imagejstep 2 imopen the curve background brightness; step 3 adjust the background; step 4 adjust the contrast. Then segmentation image by 4 steps; step 1 read image; step 2 estimation the image; step 3 remove the noise; step 4 find the boundaries. The end, measure the parameters of morphology. Results: The pathology was studied percase for their area, perimeter, maximum diameter, equivalent diameter and metric. Conclusions: Image Processing Toolbox is useful to measure the parameters of morphology of pathology.
