Regularized spectral log difference technique for ultrasonic attenuation imaging
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2017-07-13)
The attenuation coefficient slope (ACS) has the potential to be used for tissue characterization and as
a diagnostic ultrasound tool, hence complementing B-mode images. The ACS can be valuable for estimation
of other ...
Characterization of healthy skin with high-frequency ultrasound using quantitative ultrasound
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2018-08-20)
The skin is the largest organ of the body that protects it from the external environment. High- frequency ultra sound (HF-US) has been used to visualize the skin in depth and to diagnose some pathologies in dermatological ...
Robust Minimmun Variance Beamformer using Phase Aberration Correction Methods
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2017-04-28)
The minimum variance (MV) beamformer is an adaptive beamforming method that has the potential
to enhance the resolution and contrast of ultrasound images. Although the sensitivity of the MV
beamformer to steering vector ...
A study of new methods and techniques for ultrasonic attenuation estimation
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2017-03-09)
The pathological states of biological tissue are often related in attenuation changes of itself. Thus,
information about attenuating properties of tissue is valuable for the physician and could be useful in
ultrasonic ...
Automatic regularization parameter selection for the total variation mixed noise image restoration framework
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2013-03-27)
Image restoration consists in recovering a high quality image estimate based only on
observations. This is considered an ill-posed inverse problem, which implies non-unique
unstable solutions. Regularization methods allow ...
Desarrollo y comparación de diversos mapas de probabilidades en 3D del cáncer de próstata a partir de imágenes de histología
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2013-12-04)
Understanding the spatial distribution of prostate cancer and how it changes according
to prostate specific antigen (PSA) values, Gleason score, and other clinical parameters may
help comprehend the disease and increase ...
3D updating of solid models based on local geometrical meshes applied to the reconstruction of ancient monumental structures
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2014-10-14)
We introduce a novel methodology for locally updating an existing 3D solid model of a complex monumental structure with the geometric information provided by a 3D mesh (point cloud) extracted from the digital survey of a ...
Evaluation of shear wave speed measurements using crawling waves sonoelastography and single tracking location acoustic radiation force impulse imaging
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2015-07-25)
Many pathological conditions are closely related with an increase in tissue sti ness.
For many years, experts performed manual palpation in order to measure elasticity changes, however, this method can only be applied on ...
Computationally inexpensive parallel parking supervisor based on video processing
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2013-12-05)
Parallel parking, in general, is a moderate difficulty maneuver. Moreover, for inexperienced
drivers, it can be a stressful situation that can lead to errors such as stay far from
the sidewalk or damage another vehicle ...
Multi-scale image inpainting with label selection based on local statistics
(Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, 2014-09-09)
We proposed a novel inpainting method where we use a multi-scale approach to speed
up the well-known Markov Random Field (MRF) based inpainting method. MRF based
inpainting methods are slow when compared with other ...
