color doppler ultrasound quantification

albertocontri
Hallo everyone,
I'm new of the forum and of ImageJ. Now, I ask a question that have probably an obvious answer.

I need to quantify the amount of red and blue pixels in an image, and the proportion of the red and blue areas compared to the whole gray image. The image that I need to analyze is a color doppler image, in which the colours represented the blood vessels. I need to quantify the proportion of the boold vessels in the organ that I examine. If need, I could attach an example.

I hope one of you could help a wretched researcher...

Thanks in advance

Alberto

Dear Alberto,

Try something like color > split channels. Select the individual red and blue channels and run on each a threshold (Image > Adjust > threshold) with settings that select the areas you are interested in. Under Analyse > Set Measurements select Area and Area fraction and run Analyse > Analyse Particles for both your red and blue image. Hope this gives the result you are after.

Best wishes

Kees

I try the proposed procedure. However I did not found what I need.
I need to quantify the proportion of red + blue areas compared with the whole area of the structure of interest. Since the red and blue corresponded to the vessels, and the whole area the organ, in this manner I estimate the vascularization of the structure.
I attach an exemplicative image. The area within the white line is the whole structure, the areas in red + blue were the blood vessels.

I hope I have clarified what is my aim.

Kind regards and thanks to everyone could help me.

Dear dr. Straatman,

I'm sorry because I acknowledged you only now for your response.
I shelved the project until now, but now it is the time for me to complete the work.
You suggested me a way to quantify the blue and red areas in my image. It is important to say that I don't need to separate the measurement of the blue and red areas, but them could be merged.
I try to explain better what the ImageJ should give me. I need to quantify the proportion of the blue+red areas compared with the area enclosed in the ROI.
I send you another image where I created around the region of interest (ROI) a perimeter with the freehand selections function. Now, I need to calculate the proportion(ratio) between the blue + red areas and the area enclosed in the yellow line. I could also calculate the ratio in a second time, but I need to have both the areas (total inside the yellow line and blue+red areas).
I'm able to measure the area inside the yellow line but I'm not able to keep on.

I hope you could suggest me how I can complete the analysis.


Kind regards and thanks a lot for your time.

Alberto Contri

Re: color doppler ultrasound quantification

Hi Alberto,

if you just need to distinguish between gray and colored areas, you can
simply transform the image to an HSB stack (hue/saturation/brightness) and
threshold the S (saturation) channel. The saturation value is zero for
gray pixels.
The small number in the Threshold panel will tell you the fraction of the
red area in percent while moving the Threshold sliders.
For a list output (Results Table), use 'Measure' with 'Area Fraction'
enabled in 'Analyze>Set Measurements'.

Re: color doppler ultrasound quantification

albertocontri
Dear Michael,
thank you for all your explanations.
I'm near the solution of my troubles. I send you the point where I am: the colored parts are black, the gray one are white.
Now, within the yellow line, I need to have the proportion between the black area and the area delimited within the yellow line. I tried with the measure function, and the result table gave me the total area enclosed in the yellow line and a percent, but I have not understood to what the percent referred. Maybe it is more simple if the result table give me bith the areas. I need to limit the evaluation to the region enclosed in the yellow line, because it is the structure of my interest.

Thanks a lot

Alberto

Re: color doppler ultrasound quantification

Michael Schmid
In reply to this post by albertocontri
Hi Alberto,

if you have selected 'Area%' in 'Set Measurements', the %Area column
gives you the area fraction of the thresholded area (if there is a
threshold) or the area with non-zero pixels (if there is no threshold).
If you have a binary image with an inverting LUT (as in your case), the
black area is non-zero (255), the background is zero.

If there is an area selection (=region of interest), the area fraction
is for the region inside the selection, ignoring everything else. You
can easily try this by selecting a region that contains only black or
only white pixels; you will get 100 or 0%, respectively.

Re: color doppler ultrasound quantification

albertocontri
Dear Michael, thanks a lot. I've reach my objective.
Finally, do you think I could have the crude values of the areas (in the ROI and colored) instead the percentage?

Thanks a lot for everything and I hope to stop my questions.

Alberto Contri

2016-04-04 9:46 GMT+02:00 Michael Schmid-3 [via ImageJ] <[hidden email]>:
Hi Alberto,

if you have selected 'Area%' in 'Set Measurements', the %Area column
gives you the area fraction of the thresholded area (if there is a
threshold) or the area with non-zero pixels (if there is no threshold).
If you have a binary image with an inverting LUT (as in your case), the
black area is non-zero (255), the background is zero.

If there is an area selection (=region of interest), the area fraction
is for the region inside the selection, ignoring everything else. You
can easily try this by selecting a region that contains only black or
only white pixels; you will get 100 or 0%, respectively.

Re: color doppler ultrasound quantification

Michael Schmid
Hi Alberto,

make sure the spatial calibration of the image is correct:
   http://imagej.net/SpatialCalibration
   http://serc.carleton.edu/eyesinthesky2/week2/get_to_know_imagej.html

Then check 'Area' in 'Set Measurements' and you will get the area of the
selection in the units used for calibrating the image.
   http://rsb.info.nih.gov/ij/docs/guide/146-30.html#toc-Subsection-30.7

Multiply the area and the percentage/100 to get the area.

Alternatively, threshold the area of interest and check 'Limit to
threshold' in the Measurements options. Then you get the thresholded
area (but not the percentage).

Michael
