Abstract
The possibility of combining different technologies and developing better performing systems that offer quality results leads to the creation of systems with enhanced adaptation and analysis. Such analysis allows the interaction with previously evaluated techniques, providing reliable, successful results. Such is the case for the research work detailed in this article, which is focused on a technique that allows reusing previously analyzed and formalized information with the support of the Unified Modeled Language (UML). Information is handled in modules aimed to generate the segmentation of medical images without intervention of a specialist. The purpose is to deliver regions of interest for the early detection of cervical cancer.
