Ses Tellerinde Oluşan Nodüllere Ait Şekilsel Özelliklerin Görüntü İşleme Teknikleriyle Otomatik Olarak Belirlenmesi
Abstract
Gelişen teknolojik altyapı sayesinde medikal görüntüleme cihazları, ses tellerinin yapısal bozulmalarını ve titreşimlerini kolaylıkla incelemektedir Ancak ses telleri üzerinde oluşan nodül, polip gibi benzer patolojik bulgu gösteren lezyonların teşhisi bazen zor olmaktadır. Bu amaçla, yapılan çalışmada ses telleri üzerinde bulunan nodüller görüntü işleme teknikleri kullanılarak, otomatik olarak bölütlenmiş ve bu nodüllere ait alan, çevre, gibi şekilsel özelliklerin de çıkarımına yönelik bir yazılım geliştirilmiştir. Oluşturulan yazılım sayesinde, histogram tabanlı önişleme ve gradyan tabanlı görüntü işleme teknikleriyle nodüller bölütlenmiştir. Daha sonra uzman doktor tarafından elle belirlenen nodüller ile otomatik bölütlenen nodüller çakıştırılmış ve ZSI benzerlik indeksi ile yazılımın başarısı test edilmiştir. 0,71 ile 0,.89 arasında ZSI değerleri elde edilmiştir. Literatürde 0.7 ve üzeri değerler başarılı olarak kabul edilmektedir.

Automatic Determination of the Morphometric Properties of Nodules in the Vocal Cord by Image Processing Techniques
Abstract
Thanks to the developing technological infrastructure, medical imaging devices are easily examining the structural distortions and vibrations of vocal tractors. However, it is sometimes difficult to diagnose lesions with similar pathologic findings, such as nodules, polyps. For this purpose, in the study, the nodules on the vocal cord were automatically segmented using image processing techniques and a software developed for extracting the morphological properties of these nodules such as area, perimeter etc. Through the software, the nodules are segmented by histogram-based preprocessing and gradient-based image processing techniques. Then the nodules manually identified by the specialist doctor and the automatically segmented nodules were superimposed and the success of the software with the ZSI similarity index has been tested. ZSI values obtained are between 0.71 and 0.89. In the literature, the values higher than 0.7 are a considered as successful.
