โœฆ Synopsis

We investigate the use of Haralick's texture features and posterior acoustic attenuation descriptors (PAAD) for the characterization of ultrasound (US) breast lesions. 71 lesions (24 cyst, 21 benign solid mass and 26 malignant solid masses) were manually segmented on two-dimensional breast US images. 28 Haralick's descriptors and two PAAD were evaluated on these segmented lesions. Mean of Sum Average, Range of Sum Entropy and the second PAAD best discriminated cysts from noncysts. Range of Correlation and the second PAAD best discriminated solid malignant from benign lesions. Computerized analysis of breast US images can increase the specificity of breast sonography by providing a better characterization of solid lesions.

Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS) is a diagnostic imaging technique that provides tomographic visualization of coronary arteries. The aim of this study was to evaluate five texture analysis techniques and determine their ability to distinguish between plaque lesions of different composition. Using his

## Abstract Texture analysis was applied to highโ€resolution, contrastโ€enhanced (CE) images of the breast to provide a method of lesion discrimination. Significant differences were seen between benign and malignant lesions for a number of textural features, including entropy and sum entropy. Using l
