Abstract:
One of the most pestilent disease of the age is breast cancer which have taken beaucoup lives, not only is it endangering the lives of the women of the developing world but the women of the developed world as well. In fact, the women of the civilized world are more prone to breast cancer. There are numerous reasons that can lead to breast cancer. It is mostly detrimental to the senescent, as their immune system are weakening, also women who have family history, exposed to radiation, overweight are susceptive to breast cancer. All these arise from tumors which lead to cancer. There are two forms of tumors- malignant and benign. Malignant are those which cause harm to the neighboring tissues whereas benign does not. However, the problem arises in finding its exact position. The goal of this paper is to locate the boundary of the tumors from elastography images which was a very tedious task hitherto, using segmentation by the active contour method and the watershed method which has stupendous potentiality. Besides that, cascading the both methods analyze the result and find the percentage of error of segmentation. It also derives algorithm of the working procedure of the methods and the accuracy of the segmentation.
