Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
The efficacy of Extracorporeal Shock Wave Lithotripsy (ESWL) depends greatly on the capability to focus shock waves on renal stone. To achieve automatic focusing on moving target, the target must be under tracking. A mesh-based block matching algorithm is proposed for renal stone tracking using ultrasound image sequence. Since multiple targets are tracked together, the mesh-based tracking algorithm can provide a function of contextual regularization for solving the target missing and image degradation problems in renal stone tracking. Recorded ultrasound images of kidney during ESWL treatment are modified for demonstrating the capability of this algorithm. |
