Abstract: Uterine fibroid the most common benign tumor of the female pelvic affected 20%- 50% of the women in the world. The efficacy of medical treatment is gauged by shrinkage of the size of these tumors after surgery. Complex fibroids anatomy, nonhomogeneity region and missing boundary in some cases are a challenging task in the segmentation. In this paper, we present a method to robustly segment these fibroids on MRI and measure the volume. Our method is based on combination of two step Chan-Vese level set method and geometric shape prior model. With calculating an initial region inside the fibroid using Chan-Vese level sets method, rough segmentation obtained followed by a prior shape model. We found the algorithm efficient and that it has some good results.
