Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Pectoral Muscle Segmentation is an essential pre-processing technique used for subsequent processing of finding abnormalities in mammograms. The aim of this paper is to segment pectoral muscle region from the Mediolateral Oblique view of mammograms. The proposed algorithm uses the active contour and intensity based thresholding approach to identify the boundary existing between the pectoral muscle region and the rest of the breast area. The algorithm works in two stage; Contrast enhancement and contour identification in the pre-processing stage and thresholding approach in the second stage. The algorithm is experimented with the 322 mammogram images available in the Mammographic Image Analysis Society (MIAS) database. The proposed algorithm successfully segmented 298 images and thus produced an accuracy of 92.55%. The algorithm is compared with the existing methodologies and shown promising results.
