    Abstract: An image processing device including an image sequence acquisition section that acquires an image sequence that includes a plurality of images; and a processing section that performs an image summarization process that deletes some of the plurality of images included in the image sequence acquired by the image sequence acquisition section to acquire a summary image sequence. The processing section detecting a scene change from the image sequence, setting a partial image sequence that includes images among the plurality of images included in the image sequence based on the detected scene change, selecting a reference image and a determination target image from the partial image sequence, and determining whether or not the determination target image can be deleted based on deformation information about the reference image and the determination target image.

    Abstract: The present technology relates to in vivo ultrasound imaging, and particularly to a proxy model of vascularity in soft and glandular tissue from two-dimensional ultrasound signals. The methods, processes, and systems herein are useful for detecting abnormal cell growth, and involve obtaining an ultrasound image of an anatomical structure of interest, isolating a region of interest (ROI) within the anatomical structure, identifying, within the ROI, one or more hyperechoic structures, subjecting the hyperechoic structures to 2D and 3D smoothing, or 2D and 3D thinning, or 2D and 3D application of one or more morphological operations, to produce closed segmented structures.
