Segmentation of ultrasonic breast tumors based on homogeneous patch.
PURPOSE Accurately segmenting breast tumors in ultrasound (US) images is a difficult problem due to their specular nature and appearance of sonographic tumors. The current paper presents a variant of the normalized cut (NCut) algorithm based on homogeneous patches (HP-NCut) for the segmentation of ultrasonic breast tumors. METHODS A novel boundary-detection function is defined by combining te...
متن کاملUltrasonic Breast Tumors
Automatically extracting breast tumor boundaries in ultrasound images is a difficult task due to the speckle noise, the low image contrast, the variance in shapes, and the local changes of image intensity. In this paper, an improved edge-based active contour model in a variational level set formulation is proposed for semi-automatically capturing ultrasonic breast tumor boundaries. First, we ap...
متن کاملAutomated Breast Cancer Diagnosis Based on GVF-Snake Segmentation, Wavelet Features Extraction and Fuzzy Classification
The automatic diagnosis of breast cancer (BC) is an important, real-world medical problem. This paper proposes a design of automated detection, segmentation, and classification of breast cancer nuclei using a fuzzy logic. The first step is based on segmentation using an active contour for cell tracking and isolating of the nucleus in the cytological image. Then from this nucleus, have been extr...
متن کاملAutomated Breast Cancer Diagnosis based on GVF-Snake Segmentation, Wavelet Features Extraction and Neural Network Classification
Breast cancer accounts for the second most cancer diagnoses among women and the second most cancer deaths in the world. In fact, more than 11000 women die each year, all over the world, because this disease. The automatic breast cancer diagnosis is a very important purpose of medical informatics researches. Some researches has been oriented to make automatic the diagnosis at the step of mammogr...
متن کاملLevel Set Based Multispectral Segmentation with Corners
In this paper we propose an active contour model for segmentation based on the Chan-Vese model. The new model can capture inherent sharp features, i.e., the sharp corners of objects, which are often smoothed by the regularization term in segmentation. Motivated by the snaked based method in (Droske and Bertozzi SIAM J. on Image Sci. 2010) that emphasizes straight edges and corners without regar...
