Abstract: Imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of ovarian cancer. An accurate segmentation is critical, especially when the ovarian tumor morphological changes remain subtle, irregular and difficult to assess by clinical examination. Traditionally, segmentation is performed manually in clinical environment that is operator dependent and very tedious and time consuming labor intensive work. In this paper genetic algorithm for selecting the optimal threshold in image segmentation is proposed. In the computational process, the GA adjusts crossover probability and mutation probability automatically according to the variance between the target and background. Moreover, the complete algorithm is implemented using Digital Signal Processor TMS320C6713 which decreases the run time greatly.
