Abstract :
New techniques are presented for the processing of Ultrasound (US) B-mode images. A signal-adaptive Maximum Likelihood estimation algorithm is proposed, with local image adaptation based on a moving window. The algorithms are tested on US B-mode images obtained from simulated (phantom) and real liver scans1.
