MR Image Classification Using Adaboost for Brain Tumor Type

Abstract

In medical diagnostic application, early defect detection is a crucial task as it provides critical insight into diagnosis. Medical imaging technique is actively developing field inengineering. Magnetic Resonance imaging (MRI) is one those reliable imaging techniques on which medical diagnostic is based upon. Manual inspection of those images is a tedious job as the amount of data and minute details are hard to recognize by the human. For this automating those techniques are very crucial. In this paper, we are proposing a method which can be utilized to make tumor detection easier. The MRI deals with the complicated problem of brain tumor detection. Due to its complexity and variance getting better accuracy is a challenge. Using Adaboost machine learning algorithm we can improve over accuracy issue. The proposed system consists of three parts such as Preprocessing, Feature extraction and Classification. Preprocessing has removed noise in the raw data, for feature extraction we used GLCM (Gray Level Co- occurrence Matrix) and for classification boosting technique used (Adaboost).
