Computerized Lesion Segmentation on DCE-MRI using Active Contours and Spectral Embedding
Introduction: Accurate lesion segmentation is an important component of determining quantitative features for lesions on MRI. In this study, we develop an automated lesion segmentation method for delineating lesions on dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI. We present a new active contour model which uses spectral embedding (SE), a process that partitions images in order to maximize intercluster ...
متن کاملImage manifold revealing for breast lesion segmentation in DCE-MRI.
Dynamic contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (DCE-MRI) is widely used for breast lesion differentiation. Manual segmentation in DCE-MRI is difficult and open to viewer interpretation. In this paper, an automatic segmentation method based on image manifold revealing was introduced to overcome the problems of the currently used method. First, high dimensional datasets were constructed fro...
متن کاملIntegration of DCE-MRI and DW-MRI Quantitative Parameters for Breast Lesion Classification
OBJECTIVE The purpose of our study was to evaluate the diagnostic value of an imaging protocol combining dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI (DCE-MRI) and diffusion-weighted MRI (DW-MRI) in patients with suspicious breast lesions. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 31 breast lesions (15 malignant and 16 benign proved by histological examination) in 26 female patients were included in this study. For ...
متن کاملComputerized Classification of Benign and Malignant Breast Lesions on DCE-MRI Utilizing Novel Shape Descriptors
Introduction: Dynamic contrast enhanced (DCE)-MRI has recently emerged as an adjunct screening tool to conventional x-ray mammography due to its high detection rate of malignant lesions. However, DCE-MRI is associated with high interobserver variability, with κ ranging from 0.21 to 0.40 [1]. For the specific task of describing lesion morphology (smooth versus spiculated), there is high interobs...
متن کاملassessment of the efficiency of s.p.g.c refineries using network dea
data envelopment analysis (dea) is a powerful tool for measuring relative efficiency of organizational units referred to as decision making units (dmus). in most cases dmus have network structures with internal linking activities. traditional dea models, however, consider dmus as black boxes with no regard to their linking activities and therefore do not provide decision makers with the reasons...
