Breast Boundary Detection in Mammogram Using Entropy
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper we present the novel technique for detection of breast boundary (also known as Breast contour, breast edge, skin-air interface or also called skin-line). Breast boundary extraction is an important preprocessing step in Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) systems. The Breast boundary region detection is a tough task because low contrast region near skin line(boundary). The proposed method is noise resistant and uses the concept of entropy estimation for breast boundary detection. The proposed algorithm was tested on 103 mammographic images taken from CityU Image Database of different profiles and visual results were evaluated by the expert.

Introduction: Breast cancer is the most common cancer among women in the world. The automatic detection of masses in digital mammograms is a challenging task and a major step in the development of breast cancer CAD systems. In this study, we introduce a new method for automatic detection of suspicious mass candidate (SMC) regions in a mammogram. Methods: Mammography is widely used for the early...
متن کاملAccurate Breast Contour Detection Algorithms in Digital Mammogram
Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) systems have improved diagnosis of abnormalities in mammogram images. The principal feature within the breast region is the breast contour. Extraction of the breast region and delineation of the breast contour allows the search for abnormalities to be limited to the region of the breast without undue influence from the background of the mammogram. After performing...
