title: An interactive processing system for ultrasonic compound imaging, real-time image processing and texture analysis.
abstract: An interactive processing system for ultrasonic imaging, real-time image processing and texture analysis was developed and has been used under real clinical conditions at the 2nd Department of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, Vienna, since 1983. The major goal of this system is to determine what digital approaches to ultrasonic imaging, aided by computer processing, can contribute to ultrasonic diagnosis and whether clinically-relevant information can be extracted which is not obtained by conventional approaches.
