Global guidance network for breast lesion segmentation in ultrasound images

نویسندگان

چکیده

Automatic breast lesion segmentation in ultrasound helps to diagnose cancer, which is one of the dreadful diseases that affect women globally. Segmenting regions accurately from image a challenging task due inherent speckle artifacts, blurry boundaries, and inhomogeneous intensity distributions inside regions. Recently, convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have demonstrated remarkable results medical tasks. However, operations CNN often focus on local regions, suffer limited capabilities capturing long-range dependencies input image, resulting degraded accuracy. In this paper, we develop deep network equipped with global guidance block (GGB) boundary detection (BD) modules for boosting segmentation. The GGB utilizes multi-layer integrated feature map as information learn non-local both spatial channel domains. BD additional enhance quality result refinement. Experimental public dataset collected show our outperforms other methods recent semantic Moreover, also application prostate segmentation, method better identifies than state-of-the-art networks.

Automated Breast Lesion Segmentation in Ultrasound Images

The main objective of this project is to segment different breast ultrasound images to find out lesion area by discarding the low contrast regions as well as the inherent speckle noise. The proposed method consists of three stages (removing noise, segmentation, classification) in order to extract the correct lesion. We used normalized cuts approach to segment ultrasound images into regions of i...

Simultaneous Lesion Segmentation and Bias Correction in Breast Ultrasound Images

Ultrasound (US) B-mode images often show intensity inhomogeneities caused by an ultrasonic beam attenuation within the body. Due to this artifact, the conventional segmentation approaches based on intensity or intensity-statistics often do not obtain accurate results. In this paper, Markov Random Fields (MRF) and a maximum a posteriori (MAP) framework in combination with US image spatial inform...

Lesion segmentation and bias correction in breast ultrasound B-mode images including elastography information

Breast ultrasound (BUS) imaging is an imaging modality used for the detection and diagnosis of breast lesions and it has become a crucial modality nowadays specially for providing a complementary view when other modalities (i.e. mammography) are not conclusive. However, lesion detection in ultrasound images is still a challenging problem due to the presence of artifacts such as low contrast, sp...
