3. On-site use as a diagnostic tool of soft and dense tissue injuries
As a local injury is clouded by the associated tissue inammation, image segmentation
techniques, coupled with specic applied processing algorithms, will permit the segrega-
tion of tissue injury from bruise effects, thus effectively wiping away the clouded ultra-
sound image.
4. Extraction of specic tissue injuries from background images
The intelligence of the image processing algorithms will permit the separation of the tissue
injury from the normally clouded foreground of soft-tissue impact effects.
