Abstract

This paper presents a software tool, which assists the physician-ecographist toretrieve substantial information from ultrasound images. Being a part of information system in ultrasound diagnostics, it permits one to obtain some statistical descriptors, which are necessary for image clusterisation in image database. All algorithms were tested on the gall-bladder ultrasound images. The comparative analysis of the results is presented.
