[Insight-users] Segmentation of Breast Images (Images available only without contast agent)

[neha k]

Hello All,
 
I am working on Breast Image Segmention for deleneating lesions, ducts and fat tissues.  Problem is that I don't have Breast Images with contrast agent used.  Hence I can't have pre and post contrast agent to subtract them and locate tumour etc.  What will be the best way to segment such breast images (in RAW format).  I am currently trying to use Watershed segmentation and not getting any good results with it.  It causes lot of oversegmentation.  I have not used Level Set Seg. method yet.
Any input is appreciated.  
 
Thanks,
Neha
