Detection of pathologic liver using ultrasound images
Identification of steatosis through three distinct approaches. We show that it is possible to detect fatty liver using classifiers with a reduced number of features. We prove that the hepatorenal coefficient and the attenuation coefficient are capable to successfully discriminate steatotic from normal livers. Our methodologies could be also used to detect the degrees of steatosis useful for analyzing its evolution over time.
