Abstract

We investigated whether it would be possible for a computer to propose values for measurements commonly obtained (femur and humerus) during obstetrical sonography. In this preliminary study, the images were scanned and analyzed off-line using morphological operators. The procedure described allowed us to measure the long bones and has a very high coefficient of correlation with measurements obtained by humans. Ideally, the whole procedure could probably be part of the computer instructions that are built into the machine.
