MRI Images Enhancement and Tumor Segmentation for Brain

Abstract

Brain tumor is the abnormal growth of cancerous cells in Brain. In medical field, segmentation of brain regions and detection of brain tumor are very challenging tasks because of its complex structure. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) provides the detailed information about brain anatomy. Proper brain tumor segmentation using MR brain images helps in identifying exact size and shape of Brain tumor, this intern helps in diagnosis and treatment of brain tumor. However, manual segmentation in magnetic resonance data is a time-consuming task and is still being difficult to detect brain tumor area in MRI. The main challenges of brain tumor detection are less of accuracy to detect tumor area and to segment the tumor area. The system proposed the results fusion method for image enhancement and combination of adaptive k-means clustering and morphological operation for tumor segmentation. All of the experimental results will be tested on BRATS multimodal images of brain tumor Segmentation Benchmark dataset.
