Cardiac Ultrasound Enhancement Using Brushlets
- Summary
- Andrew Laine, D.Sc.
- Technology Benefits
- Reduces noise without sacrificing image detail, compared to existing denoising techniques (e.g., frequency-based or Wiener filters) Improved image quality leads to more accurate diagnoses Real-time algorithm can be implemented both at the bedside and in the radiologist's office Reduced noise opens the door for computer-aided analysis techniques, to reduce provider workload and improve reliability Patent information:Patent Issued (US 7,542,622)
- Technology Application
- Ultrasound diagnosis of cardiac disease Alternative brushlet sets can be developed for other ultrasound applications
