Ultrasound breast tumor segmentation based on 3-D level set

In this paper, we propose a new model based on C-V model, this model based on intra-region similar and inter-region dissimilar properties, adjusting the parameters automatically using the region mean values inside and outside the curve, is suitable for weak edge image segmentation. In the segmentation of the 3-D ultrasonic breast tumor, the segmentation speed of this model is faster than the C-V model, and the segmentation result is gratifying.
