Handling medical images as a part of segmentation issues plays a critical phase. The proposed approach of nonlinear method of segmentation for which specific images of mammogram are consideredusing probability weighted force stopping function and Bayesian rules to extract the weak boundaries.

In this work, there were implemented methods to analyze and segmentation medical images by using different kind of algorithms. The solution shows the architecture of the system collecting and analyzing data. There was tried to develop an algorithm for level set method applied to piecewise constant image segmentation. These algorithms are needed to identify arbitrary number of phases for the segmentation problem. With the use of modern algorithms, it can obtain a quicker diagnosis and automatically marking areas of the interest region in medical images.

Marching Method

Technology is proliferating. Many methods are used for medical imaging .The important methods used here are fast marching and level set in comparison with the watershed transform .Since watershed algorithm was applied to an image has over clusters in segmentation . Both methods are applied to segment the medical images. First, fast marching method is used to extract the rough contours. Then level set method is utilized to finely tune the initial boundary. Moreover, Traditional fast marching method was modified by the use of watershed transform. The method is feasible in medical imaging and deserves further research. It could be used to segment the white matter, brain tumor and other small and simple structured organs in CT and MR images. In the future, we will integrate level set method with statistical shape analysis to make it applicable to more kinds of medical images and have better robustness to noise.

Level Set Evolution

In order to improve the accuracy of image segmentation, an improved adaptive level set method is proposed based on level set evolution without re-initialization method and adaptive distance preserving level set evolution method. A new definition of weight coefficient in evolution equations is the main innovation of this paper. The improved method can detect certain object boundaries, interior and exterior contours of an object, edges of multi-objects and weak boundaries of an object by synthetic and real images numerical experiments. Numerical results show that the improved adaptive level set method has faster segmentation speed and higher segmentation accuracy compared with the previous two methods, especially in weak boundaries and edges of multi-objects segmentation problems.

Prostate boundary detection from ultrasound images plays an important role in prostate disease diagnoses and treatments. However, due to the low contrast, speckle noise and shadowing in ultrasound images, this still remains a difficult task. Currently, prostate boundary detection is performed manually, which is arduous and heavily user dependent. A possible solution is to improve the efficiency by automating the boundary detection process with minimal manual involvement. This paper presents a new approach based on the level set method to automatically detect the prostate surface from 3D transrectal ultrasound images. The user interaction in the initialization procedure is relieved by automatically putting the centroid of the initial zero level sets close to the image center. Region information, instead of the image gradient, is integrated into the level set method to remedy the "boundary leaking" problem caused by gaps or weak boundaries. Moreover, to increase the accuracy and robustness, knowledge-based features, such as expected shape (kidney-like) and ultrasound appearance of the prostate (looking from within the gland, the intensities are transitions from dark to light), are also incorporated into the model. The proposed method is applied to eight 3D TRUS images and the results have shown its effectiveness.

<p>Images that are obtained in the real world in low contrast are inappropriate for human eyes to read the medical images. Enhancement and segmentation have an important role to play in digital image processing, pattern recognition, and the computer vision. Here, this paper presents an effective way of changing histograms and improving contrast in digital images. Segmentation is done on AGCWD enhanced images. Histogram equalization is an important technique for contrast enhancement. Nevertheless, modern Histogram Equalization commonly results in unnecessary contrast enhancement, which in turn offers an un-natural presence to the processed image and produces visual artifacts. We present an automated transformation technique that helps boost dimmed image brightness by gamma correction and weighted distribution, commonly known as Adaptive Gamma Correction Weighted Distribution (AGCWD). The contrast enhancement level can be modified using this technique; noise robustness, white or black stretching, and the protection of medium brightness can be easily integrated into the optimization process. Finally, a contrast enhancement algorithm with low complexity is introduced. All the process of enhancement will be done during the process of pre-processing the image. Later, in post-processing, we introduce a specific level set method known as ORACM for better segmentation of an enhanced AGCWD image, and it is compared with the traditional level set method.</p>
