UW Madison Digital Image Processing Adam Slater and Matt McCormick / 12/14/2005 / Page 8 Breast Tumor Segmentation Tumor Finding Three options for finding tumor: user-supplied coordinates, manual input, and automatic tumor finding. Automatic tumor finding: 1) Find the distance of each pixel from a black (0) pixel 2) Mark the pixel farthest from a black pixel and closest to the center of the image as inside the tumor
