Lesion Segmentation in Breast Sonography
نویسندگان
چکیده
Sonography is gainingpopularity as an adjunct screening technique for assessing abnormalities in the breast. This is particularly true in cases where the subject has dense breast tissue, wherein widespread techniques like Digital Mammography (DM) fail to produce reliable outcomes. This article proposes anovel and fully automaticmethodology for breast lesion segmentation in B-mode Ultra-Sound (US) images by utilizing region, boundary and shape information to cope up with the inherent artifacts present in US images. The proposed approach has been evaluated using a set of sonographic images with accompanying expert-provided ground truth.

Accurate segmentation plays a vital role in automated analysis of ultrasonic images. A new method based on adaptive anisotropic diffusion is introduced here for lesion detection in ultrasonic images of the breast. In this method, a hypothesis testing framework is defined first to separate lesions from healthy breast tissue. Then the boundary of lesion is estimated by adaptive anisotropic diffus...
