Hue Histogram for Endoscopic Elastography

Dilmurodjon Eshmuminov
 ----------------------------------------------------------------------
Greetings
 
We are going to initiate a clinical study on pancreas elastography. Elastography measures the tissue stiffness. Since hard pancreas has low postoperative fistula rate compared to soft pancreas we decided measure it during work up prior to surgery. However elastography information is displayed in a color on a defined region of interest. To analyze we need to convert it into numbers.
 
Some authors (refer to link below) used a  special plug in written by the IT team (based on ImageJ software) to analyze individual frames of EUS elastography movies by retrieving hue histogram data from a dynamic sequence of EUS elastography into a numeric matrix.  
I could not find this plug in. I would be very grateful if someone could recommend some appropriate plug in in my case. The authors of published paper did not answer till now.
 
I appreciate very much your help
 
Kind regards
 
Dima

Hi Dima,

you could check out the "Threshold Colour" plugin, it transforms an image into HSV space giving you the HUE histogram:

Best,
