Abstract
In this paper, a method was proposed for objective and scientific judgment on disease conditions that is currently relied on subjective judgment of ultrasound practitioners. In the proposed method, mean squared errors (MSE) in ultrasound images for follow-up of HCC patients were obtained and the Peak Signal to Noise Ratio(PSNR) of the ultrasound images was analyzed. According to the results of analysis, MSE and PSNR values changed over time. This is attributable to changes in ultrasound images resulting from increases in utrasonic echoes following the progression of HCC. The results of the present study can be used as a method for scientific and objective judgment in ultrasonic scan instead of current subjective judgment by practitioners.
