This database has been established to support comparative studies on automatic segmentation algorithms of ultrasound images. The database will be iteratively extended. The professionals working in the field of medical image processing may  create an account and upload three types of images: Ultrasound, Doppler and Elasticity images along with the ground truth. In the near future we will extend the database to the retinal images and CT scans of the brain. To register your interest, please provide us with a verifiable e-mail and a few details of yourself.

Diagnostic of Breast Cancer: Continuous Force Field Analysis for Ultrasound Image Segmentation. The project offers a new approach to segmentation of ultrasound images of the breast tumors based on the active contour method combined with a new force field analysis techniques and fusion of ultrasound, Doppler and Elasticity images. The new algorithm extends these ideas to a variety of practical examples of the breast or liver tumor segmentation from noisy images and to the cases when the contour is initialized far from the boundary (Thailand Research Fund).
