Abstract

Breast cancer is one of the most common cancers in women. Typically, the course of the disease is asymptomatic in the early stages of breast cancer. Imaging breast examinations allow early detection of the cancer, which is associated with increased chances of a complete cure. There are many breast imaging techniques such as: mammography (MM), ultrasound imaging (US), positron-emission tomography (PET), computed tomography (CT), and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). These imaging techniques differ in terms of effectiveness, price, type of physical phenomenon, the impact on the patient and its availability. In this paper, we focus on MRI imaging and we compare three breast lesion segmentation algorithms that have been tested on QIN Breast DCE-MRI database, which is publicly available. The obtained values of Dice and Jaccard indices indicate the segmentation using k-means algorithm.
