Kidney Stone Detection Using Digital Image Processing Techniques

The Kidney stones are a hard collection of salt and minerals, often calcium and uric acid that form in the kidneys. The majority of persons with kidney stones do not recognize them at first, and their organs gradually deteriorate. For surgical procedures, it is critical to determine the exact and precise location of a kidney stone. Speckle noise is present in most ultrasound images, which cannot be removed by humans. The paper consists of problems of kidney stones in the human body and detection mechanisms by using Image processing techniques. The Techniques like preprocessing, segmentation and Morphological Analysis. The Results of techniques are evaluated based on the output parameters and analyzed to conclude the methods working efficiently.
