Abstract:Pectoral muscle segmentation is a crucial step in various computeraided applications of breast Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). Due to imaging artifact and homogeneity between the pectoral and breast regions, the pectoral muscle boundary estimation is not a trivial task. In this paper, a fully automatic segmentation method based on deep learning is proposed for accurate delineation of the pectoral muscle boundary in axial breast MR images. The proposed method involves two main steps: pectoral muscle segmentat… Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
