Pectoral muscle identification in mammograms
In most of the approaches of computer-aided detection of breast cancer, one of the preprocessing steps applied to the mammogram is the removal/suppression of pectoral muscle, as its presence within the mammogram may adversely affect the outcome of cancer detection processes. Through this study, we propose an efficient automatic method using the watershed transformation for identifying the pecto...
متن کاملBreast Segmentation with Pectoral Muscle Suppression on Digital Mammograms
Previous works on breast tissue identification and abnormalities detection notice that the feature extraction process is affected if the region processed is not well focused. Thereby, it is important to split the mammogram into interesting regions to achieve optimal breast parenchyma measurements, breast registration or to put into focus a technique when we search for abnormalities. In this pap...
متن کاملRobust automatic breast and pectoral muscle segmentation from scanned mammograms
Breast skin–air interface and pectoral muscle segmentation are usually first steps in all CAD applications on scanned as well as digital mammograms. Breast skin–air interface segmentation is much more difficult task when performed on scanned mammograms than on digital mammograms. In case of pectoral muscle segmentation, segmentation difficulty of analog and digital mammograms is usually similar...
متن کاملSegmentation of the Breast Region with Pectoral Muscle Removal in Mammograms
Breast region segmentation is an essential prerequisite in computerised analysis of mammograms. It aims at separating the breast tissue from the background of the mammogram and it includes two independent segmentations. The first segments the background region which usually contains annotations, labels and frames from the whole breast region, while the second removes the pectoral muscle portion...
متن کاملAutomatic Identification and Elimination of Pectoral Muscle in Digital Mammograms
Computer aided detection/diagnosis aims at assisting radiologist in the analysis of digital mammograms. Digital mammogram has emerged as the most popular screening technique for early detection of breast cancer and other abnormalities in human breast tissue. The pectoral muscle represents a predominant density region in most mammograms and can affect/bias the results of image processing methods...
