Abstract

This research exposes a different method for the analysis of ultrasound images (US), aiming to increase the diagnostic possibilities of this exam. The advances in the development of techniques that assist in medical diagnosis are constant, and, among them, the panoramic ultrasound has provided an image analysis with a greater field of view. This method could propose that patients to other diagnose options, free of ionizing radiation, and at a lower cost. The exam images were obtained at the University Hospital of the Federal University of Pará (Brazil) and treated to analyze female organs in the pelvic region, the organ chosen in this study was the bladder. This research analyzed images around the patient's pelvic region: images obtained with the translation of the ultrasound transducer in a 360º trajectory. In this study, the ultrasound images were pre-processed, segmented, and reconstrued. Although this study is in its initial phase, it is possible to obtain panoramic images of the pelvic region and make the bladder reconstruction. However, further development of technique is necessary to obtain more precise and specific results.
