Abstract
A system and method for feature detection in ultrasound images is disclosed. The method estimates speckle distributions in windows on opposing sides of a pixel of an ultrasound image. The divergence is calculated for the pixel between the estimated speckle distributions in the windows. These steps are performed for each pixel in the ultrasound image, and a feature map is generated based on the divergence calculated between the estimated speckle distributions for each pixel.
