How to detect edge or contours for Ultrasound Images?

3 views (last 30 days)
I am working with ultrasound images. The region of interest is detected and i need the edge/contours for lesions. I tried some general techniques such as Sobel, Prewitt, Roberts etc. Any suggestions will be appreciated :)

If, as you say, "region of interest is detected" then you've done the hard part already. Now all you need to do is to call bwboundaries() to get the (x,y) coordinate pairs for the perimeter of your detected ROI(s).

actually the contour I need is inside the ROI. The image has a lot of speckle and that's why general functions are not working

Yes, speckle is a common problem with ultrasound images.
