Fully Automatic MRI Brain Tumor Segmentation

Abstract

Abstract. Today in the area of medical research, the care of brain tumor patient attracts a lot of attention. Brain tumor segmentation consists of separating the different brain tumor tissues from normal tissues. In the past, many researchers in the field of medical imaging and soft computing have made significant survey in the field of brain tumor segmentation. Both semiautomatic and fully automatic methods have been proposed. Clinical acceptance of segmentation techniques has depended on the simplicity of the segmentation and the degree of user supervision. Additionally, with the development of particular software tools for automatic segmentation and brain tumor detection, which reduce the doctors' time spent on manual segmentation, more effective and efficient results are provided. In this paper BraTumIA software tool has been used for automated segmentation on MRI brain tumor images in order to perform fully segmentation by separating different brain tumor tissues from the normal ones.
