Preface
Diagnostic and therapeutic Ultrasound has recently taken an explosive growth for
better safer, economic, mobile and high quality healthcare. This technology is very
appealing for medical applications because it is non-ionizing, non-invasive and is
available in most of the medical and clinical facilities. Its low cost, when compared
with other medical image modalities, makes it one of the preferred tools for medical
monitoring, follow-up and diagnosis. Besides the traditional fields of cardiology
and obstetrics, where it is extensively used for long time, it has become also very
useful in the diagnosis of diseases of the prostate, liver and coronaries and carotids
atherosclerosis.
However, Ultrasound images present poor quality, very low signal to noise ratio
and a lot of artifacts. The extraction of useful information from Ultrasound data
for diagnosis is a challenge task that makes this medical image modality a very
active field of research. The difficulties are being overcome and novel and advanced
methods are being proposed for detection, characterization and segmentation of
abnormalities in several organs. In fact, Ultrasound application range is vast,
covering almost all organs, including the brain where Transcranial Doppler (TCD)
Ultrasound is very important to assess the brain vasculature.
This book presents some of the recent advances in Ultrasound imaging technology covering several organs and techniques in a Biomedical Engineering (BME)
perspective. The focus of the book is in the algorithms, methodologies and systems
developed by multidisciplinary research teams of engineers and physicians for
Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) purposes.
Cardiovascularand cancer,the most common life-threateningdiseases in western
countries, are two of the most important topics focused in the book. However,
other advanced issues are also presented such as Intravascular Ultrasound (IVUS),
3D and 4D Ultrasound and Ultrasound in Computer-Aided Surgery (CAS). Some
chapters are direct contributions from medical research groups where Ultrasound
has also received great attention in the last decade. By this, new techniquesbased on
Ultrasound were introduced in the clinical practice for diagnosis and therapeutics,
mainly in hospital facilities.

Main Feature of the Book
The book contains 14 chapters distributed by 3 sections. It covers a wide range
of topics from the physics and statistics associated with the Ultrasound data, in a
signal processing point of view, up to high level application tools for CAD based on
Ultrasound.
Section 1: Image Formation and Preprocessing
In this section the image formation process is addressed and new statistical models
describing the ultrasonic signal are proposed. Reduction of Ultrasound noise, called
de-speckling, and textural characterization of tissues are considered.
Section 2: Ultrasound Atherosclerotic Plaque Imaging
Here, the important problem of atherosclerotic plaque characterizationis addressed.
Methods to assess the severity of the disease are described, such as measuring the
Intima/ Media Thickness(IMT), as well as new scoresto quantifythe risk of vascular
accident.
Section 3: Advanced Applications
This section covers a wide range of applications involving morphological and textural segmentation of structures from ultrasound images. Detection and characterization of focal lesions in the thyroid,breast and prostate and texturalcharacterization
of diffuse diseases of the liver are the main topics.
