Abstract

Breast Cancer (BC) is one of the harsh conditions, which largely affects the women group. Due to its significance, a range of procedures are available for premature detection and early treatment to save the patient. The clinical level diagnosis of BC will be done using; (i) Image supported detection and (ii) Core-Needle-Biopsy (CNB) assisted confirmation. The proposed work aim to develop a computerized scheme to detect the Breast-Tumor-Section (BTS) from the beast MRI slices. This work implements a joint thresholding and segmentation methodology to enhance and extract the BTS from the 2D MRI slices. A tri-level thresholding based on Slime-Mould-Algorithm and Shannon's-Entropy (SMA+SE) is implemented to enhance the BTS and Watershed-Segmentation (WS) is implemented to mine the BTS. After extracting the BTS, a study between the BTS and Ground-Truth image is performed and the necessary Image-Performance-Values (IPV) are computed. In this work the axial, coronal and sagittal slices of 2D breast MRI are separately examined and the attained results are presented.
