Abstract :
The growth of kidney disease has gradually increased over the coming years. Ultrasound imaging is an incontestable vital tool for diagnosis, it provides the internal structure of the body to detect eventually diseases or abnormal tissues non-invasively. This paper presents analysis of Ultrasonography (USG) images for detection of Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) stages. The methodology of image processing techniques focus on detecting the proportion of fibrosis conditions within kidney tissues and develop a system which detect and identify different stages of CKD.
