Segmentation of breast MR images using a generalised 2D mathematical model with inflation and deflation forces of active contours

作者：

Highlights：

• Inflation and deflation forces of active contours for breast segmentation.

• We developed 2D mathematical model for breast shape estimation.

• Consistent results across wide range of parameters values.
