Segmentation of Arm Ultrasound Images in Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema: A Database and Deep Learning Algorithm

Objective: Breast cancer treatment often causes the removal of or damage to lymph nodes of the patient's lymphatic drainage system. This side effect is the origin of Breast Cancer-Related Lymphedema (BCRL), referring to a noticeable increase in excess arm volume. Ultrasound imaging is a preferr...
