Abstract

In this paper, a method for assessment of the ovarian follicle growth is presented. 3D ultrasound volumes of ovaries are processed. Ovarian follicles are shown as hypoechogenic areas in the cross-section images. In first phase, global translations and rotations of two observed follicle constellations from two consecutive ovary examinations are detected. In second phase, detailed local deformations are estimated using elastic registration. The proposed method has been tested using artificial simulated models of ultrasound images of ovaries. Preliminary results shows the proposed method is efficient and reliably detects deformations ovarian follicles cause by their growth.
