3-D Tumor Detection from Kidneys Using Ultrasound Images

In this review article we describe how 3D ultrasound imaging overcomes these limitations. Specifically, we describe the developments of a number of 3D ultrasound imaging systems using mechanical, free-hand and 2D array scanning techniques. The research presents a work of fiction multifunctional platform focusing on the clinical diagnosis of kidneys and their pathology (tumors, stones and cysts), using a "templates"-based technique. As a first step, specialist clinicians train the system by accurately annotating the kidneys and "3-D golden standard models" is used to compare the results.
