Abstract: Automatic detection of breast lesions is of great significance for subsequent computer-aided diagnosis. This paper combines three kinds of prior knowledge, i.e. background prior, adaptive center prior and frequency prior to propose a multi-saliency detection scheme, which is employed to detect breast lesions in ultrasound images. The scheme includes three stages:image preprocessing, saliency detection and saliency optimization. In addition, in order to improve the detection accuracy, it proposes an adaptive threshold segmentation method based on empirical cumulative distribution function and an improved adaptive center prior detection method. Experimental results indicate that the proposed multi-saliency detection scheme achieves the precision of 92.50%, recall of 87.05% and F-measure of 91.18%, which demonstrates better performance in detecting breast lesions in ultrasound images.

Key words: breast lesion detection, breast ultrasound images, saliency detection

摘要: 乳腺病灶自动检测对于后续计算机辅助诊断具有重要意义。融合背景先验、自适应中心先验以及频率先验等三种先验知识,提出一种多显著性检测方案实现超声影像中的乳腺病灶检测。该方案包含图像预处理、显著性检测和显著性优化等三个步骤。为了提高检测准确率,提出了一种基于经验累积分布函数的自适应阈值分割方法和一种改进的自适应中心先验检测方法。实验结果证明,提出的多显著性检测方案精确率达92.50%,召回率达87.05%,F-measure值达91.18%,能够更好地检测乳腺超声病灶。
