Brain Tumor Extraction from MRI Images using MATLAB

Abstract

Image segmentation is one of the most challenging techniques in the field of medical image processing. Brain tumor segmentation is emerging technique in this field. This paper refers to the brain tumor segmentation from MR images of patients taken from 'Brain web'. Hybrid methodology is used to extract and detect tumor from MR images using basic concepts of digital image processing. MATLAB is used for this purpose in this paper for applying the proposed algorithm.
