Abstract
Medical ultrasound imaging is one of the most effective methods for lesion early detection. However, the segmentation of lesions such as breast cancers from ultrasound images is still a challenging task due to the variance in shape of the lesions and interference from speckle noise. In this chapter, a novel approach using a generalized adaptive magnetostatic bidirectional balloon snake (AMBBS) model is adopted for lesion segmentation. The limitations ...
