N2 - In this study, we propose a scheme to delimit benign and malignant masses in breast ultrasound images. It consists of two stages: superpixels extraction by an Intuitionistic Fuzzy algorithm, which considers the local information of the image to develop a local segmentation; and clustering the superpixels by means of DBSCAN algorithm. The proposal does not require preprocessing of noise reduction inherent to this type of medical images or enhancement of features. The effectiveness of our proposal is verified by quantitative and qualitative results.
