Abstract

This paper will discuss the application of image processing techniques in the medical field, especially in the calculation of the age of the fetus and uterine diameter at ultrasonography with low-resolution image. We applied image morphology and edge detection method in the segmentation process. The main objective of this research is to confirm the diagnosis of a gynecologist or health workers who are in the rural areas where health facilities are limited so that the image of the existing ultrasonography has a low quality or just a print out of ultrasonography in other areas. So that further analysis is required on that image. Experimental results show that the system that we have developed has a maximum error 5.3%. Therefore it can be said that this system has a performance that promises to be developed further.
