Ultrasound image processing in the evaluation of labor induction failure risk Vasquez Obando, Pablo Jose Arana Arexolaleiba, Nestor Izaguirre Altuna, Alberto Inteligencia artificial Sistemas de control médico Tratamiento digital de imágenes ODS 3 Salud y bienestar Labor induction is defined as the artificial stimulation of uterine contractions for the purpose of vaginal birth. Induction is prescribed for medical and elective reasons. Success in labor induction procedures is related to vaginal delivery. Cesarean section is one of the potential risks of labor induction as it occurs in about 20% of the inductions. A ripe cervix (soft and distensible) is needed for a successful labor. During the ripening cervical, tissues experience micro structural changes: collagen becomes disorganized and water content increases. These changes will affect the interaction between cervical tissues and sound waves during ultrasound transvaginal scanning and will be perceived as gray level intensity variations in the echographic image. Texture analysis can be used to analyze these variations and provide a means to evaluate cervical ripening in a non-invasive way. 2018-11-12T10:09:37Z 2018-11-12T10:09:37Z 2017 2017-11-17 http://purl.org/coar/resource_type/c_db06 https://katalogoa.mondragon.edu/janium-bin/janium_login_opac.pl?find&ficha_no=148156 https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.11984/1129 eng © Pablo José Vasquez Obando Mondragon Unibertsitatea.
