Tumor Detection Based on Spatial and Inter-Slice Analysis for MRI Breast Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper, we propose a scheme composed of the spatial and inter-slice analyses to achieve tumor region identification in MRI breast images. Our spatial analysis evaluates the intensity and size information of candidate regions, while the inter-slice analysis is based on the continuity characteristic to verify the static behavior of tumor regions. To find a precise region, a region growing algorithm is proposed based on ellipse fitness. The experimental results show that our proposed scheme can correctly identify tumor regions.

Breast cancer imaging: a new role of Tc-99m sestamibi prone scintimammography for diagnosisof breast cancer
Mammography remians the procedure of choice in screening asymptomatic women for breast cancer. However, in patients with symptoms, other types of imaging play an important role in the detection of malignancies. The high cost and lack of availability of PET and MRI largely precludes the use in this patient population. TI-201 is nbt the imaging agent of choice because of its wash-out and redistri...

Introduction: The brain tumor is an abnormal growth of tissue in the brain, which is one of the most important challenges in neurology. Brain tumors have different types. Some brain tumors are benign and some brain tumors are cancerous and malignant. Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) is the most common and deadliest malignant brain tumor in adults. The average survival rate for peo...

Introduction: Computed tomography (CT) has numerous applications in clinical procedures but its main problem is its high radiation dose to the patients compared to other imaging modalities using x-ray. CT delivers approximately high doses to the nearby tissues due to the scattering effect, fan beam (beam divergence) and limited collimator efficiency. The radiation dose from multi-slice scanners...

متن کاملDynamic Contrast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (DCE-MRI) and Diffusion Weighted MR Imaging (DWI) for Differentiation between Benign and Malignant Salivary Gland Tumors
Background: Salivary gland tumors form nearly 3% of head and neck tumors. Due to their large histological variety and vicinity to facial nerves, pre-operative diagnosis and differentiation of benign and malignant parotid tumors are a major challenge for radiologists. Objective: The majority of these tumors are benign; however, sometimes they tend to transform into a malignant form. Functional M...
