based on wavelet based active contour model for detection of mammographic
lesions. Mammography is the primary imaging technique for the detection
and diagnosis of breast lesions. A new segmentation technique using Wavelet
based active contour segmentation algorithm has been proposed and tested
for segmenting the mammogram lesions in this research. This new technique
incorporates wavelet refinement for better fitting. Experimental studies
establish that the proposed segmentation technique gives better segmentation
results in detecting the mammographic lesion in comparison to few other
existing algorithms. This indicates that the proposed technique is a good
segmentation technique.]]>Iivarinen, J.,19981998Kass, M., A. Witkin and D. Terzopoulos,19881321331Krupinski, M.A. and M.L. Giger,199817510517Leymarie, F. and M.D. Levine,199315617634Li, H.D., M.
