Segmentation of human brain from MRI scan slices without human intervention is the objective of this paper. A simple and accurate method is developed for extracting the brain tissues from the T1 weighted MR Images. The DICOM images are used for segmenting. A hybrid of threshold and seed growth techniques are used in classifying the brain tissues into White matter (WM), Gray matter (GM) and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
