A Spatial Shape Constrained Clustering Method for Mammographic Mass Segmentation

A novel clustering method is proposed for mammographic mass segmentation on extracted regions of interest (ROIs) by using deterministic annealing incorporating circular shape function (DACF). The objective function reported in this study uses both intensity and spatial shape information, and the dom...
