Multi-feature gradient vector flow snakes for adaptive segmentation of the ultrasound images of breast cancer

A Rodtook, SS Makhanov - Journal of Visual Communication and Image …, 2013 - Elsevier
Segmentation of ultrasound (US) images of breast cancer is one of the most challenging
problems of the modern medical image processing. A number of popular codes for US
segmentation are based on a generalized gradient vector flow (GGVF) method proposed by
Xu and Prince. The GGVF equations include a smoothing term (diffusion) applied to regions
of small gradients of the edge map and a stopping term to fix and extend large gradients
appearing at the boundary of the object. The paper proposes two new directions. The first …
