Digital Imaging Technologies Have Become Indispensable...

ABSTRACT Digital imaging technologies have become indispensable components for clinical procedures. Major advances in the field of medical imaging and computer technology have created opportunity for quantitative analyses of medical images and provided powerful techniques to probe the structure, pathology and function of the human body . In medical applications, skilled operators usually extract the desired regions that may be anatomically separate but statistically indistinguishable. It is subjected to manual errors and biases, which is time consuming, and has poor reproducibility. The problem faced in clustering is the identification of clusters in given data. A widely used method for clustering is based on K-means in which the data is partitioned into K number of clusters. In this method, clusters are predefined which is highly dependent on the initial identification of elements representing the clusters well. Several researchers in clustering has focused on improving the clustering proces s such that the clusters are not dependent on the initial identification of cluster representation. keywords : Segmentation, Clustering, Adaptive K means, digital image processing. INTRODUCTION Diagnostic imaging is an invaluable tool in medicine today. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), Computed Tomography, Digital Mammography, and other imaging modalities provide effective means for non-invasively mapping the an atomy of a subject.
