Segmentation of Uterine Fibroid Ultrasound Images Using a Dynamic Statistical Shape Model in HIFU Therapy

Uterine fibroids are commonly occurring benign tumors that can trouble females. The incidence of uterine fibroids in women over the age of 30 years is 20−25% [1]. Ultrasound (US) imaging has becoming the main imaging modality for uterine fibroids diagnosis and treatment, due to its inexpensive diagnostic value compared with computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and able to follow anatomical deformations in real-time.
