Quantitative Analysis of Ultrasound Images of the Preterm Brain

In this PhD new algorithms are proposed to better understand and diagnose white matter damage in the preterm Brain. Since Ultrasound imaging is the most suited modality for the inspection of brain pathologies in very low birth weight infants we propose multiple techniques to assist in what is called Computer-Aided Diagnosis. As a main result we are able to increase the qualitative diagnosis from a 70% detectability to a 98% quantitative detectability.
