A novel and automatic pectoral muscle identification algorithm for mediolateral oblique (MLO) view mammograms using ImageJ
Pectoral muscle identification is often required for breast cancer risk analysis, such as estimating breast density. Traditional methods are overwhelmingly based on manual visual assessment or straight line fitting for the pectoral muscle boundary, which are inefficient and inaccurate since pectoral muscle in mammograms can have curved boundaries. This paper proposes a novel and automatic pecto...
متن کاملPectoral 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 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...
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 کاملComputer-Aided Identification of the Pectoral Muscle in Mammograms
Due to drastic growth in mammography, a huge number of high quality and diverse images are available for analysis. At this juncture, usage of computer vision techniques, which includes artificial systems to analyze these medical images, is indispensable. However, the usage of artificial systems for mammogram analysis is not new to this field. Though Computer-Aided Detection (CAD) for breast can...
