AbstractDuring thermal ablation in a target tissue the information about temperature is crucial for decision making of successful therapy. An observable temporal and spatial temperature propagation would give a visual feedback of irreversible cell damage of the target tissue. Potential temperature features in ultrasound (US) B-Mode image sequences during radiofrequency (RF) ablation in ex-vivo porcine liver were found and analysed. These features could help to detect the transition between reversible and irreversible damage of the ablated target tissue. Experimental RF ablations of ex-vivo porcine liver were imaged with US B-Mode imaging and image sequences were recorded. Temperature was simultaneously measured within the liver tissue around a bipolar RF needle electrode. In the B-Mode images, regions of interest (ROIs) around the centre of the measurement spots were analysed in post-processing using average gray-level (AVGL) compared against temperature. The pole of maximum energy level in the time-frequency domain of the AVGL changes was investigated in relation to the measured temperatures. Frequency shifts of the pole were observed which could be related to transitions between the states of tissue damage.

It is a difficult task to binarize image under uneven illumination, and this problem is always met in the image recognition system, such as two-dimensional barcode scanning terminal. In this paper, an efficient approach is proposed to binarize image which can tolerant uneven illumination and different light intensity. The method initializes thresholds with local average gray level and adjusts thresholds by calculating light density ratio. Due to characteristic of our approach, it can even obtain a sound result by limiting number of iterations which will seriously reduce computations and space cost. According to experiments, we can find that our method can achieve a good performance and meet the real-time requirement and quality demand for barcode scanning terminal.
