摘要
Breast cancer is a significant health concern for women, emphasizing the need for early detection. This research focuses on developing a computer system for asymmetry detection in mammographic images, employing two critical approaches: Dynamic Time Warping (DTW) for shape analysis and the Growing Seed Region (GSR) method for breast skin segmentation. The methodology involves processing mammograms in DICOM format. In the morphological study, a centroid-based mask is computed using extracted images from DICOM files. Distances between the centroid and the breast perimeter are then calculated to assess similarity through Dynamic Time Warping analysis. For skin thickness asymmetry identification, a seed is initially set on skin pixels and expanded based on intensity and depth similarities. The DTW analysis achieves an accuracy of 83%, correctly identifying 23 possible asymmetry cases out of 20 ground truth cases. The GRS method is validated using Average Symmetric Surface Distance and Relative Volumetric metrics, yielding similarities of 90.47% and 66.66%, respectively, for asymmetry cases compared to 182 ground truth segmented images, successfully identifying 35 patients with potential skin asymmetry. Additionally, a Graphical User Interface is designed to facilitate the insertion of DICOM files and provide visual representations of asymmetrical findings for validation and accessibility by physicians.
