Abstract
This paper describes a new ultrasonic scoring system based on the texture characteristics of ultrasonic liver images. This
system generates an ultrasonic disease severity (UDS) score that is highly correlated with the computer morphometry (CM) score
obtained from the evaluation of liver fibrosis based on the biopsy specimens. Essentially, UDS score is very similar to the
CM score in the statistical presentation. Therefore, UDS score is defined mathematically referring to CM score as the scoring
basis. As a result, UDS can faithfully reflect the disease progression that is determined conventionally based on the evaluation
of liver fibrosis. Promising results have been obtained in experimental studies, and it will currently undergoes extensive
clinical experiments.
