Detection of pectoral muscle in mammograms using a mean-shift segmentation approach
Alina Elena Sultana, Mihai Ciuc, Rodica Strungaru · 2010
Detection of pectoral muscle in mammograms is an important pre-processing segmentation step. The pectoral muscle is one of the few anatomical features that appears clearly and reliably in medio-lateral oblique view mammograms. This new method overcomes the limitation of the straight-line representation considered in our initial investigation using the Hough transform.
