Meenakshi Sharma, Simranjit Singh . A Modified and Improved Method for Detection of Tumor in Brain Cancer. International Journal of Computer Applications. 91, 6 ( April 2014), 5-8. DOI=10.5120/15883-4489
The precise information of a tumor plays an important role in the treatment of malignant tumors. The manual segmentation of brain tumors from Magnetic Resonance images (MRI) is time consuming task. Processing of MRI images is one of the parts of this field. The detection and extraction of tumor is done from patient's MRI scan images of the brain. The basic concepts of the image processing are some noise removal functions, segmentation and morphological operations. The modified image segmentation and histogram thresh holding techniques were applied on MRI scan images in order to detect brain tumors. In addition, a region prop and skull is used to detect the tumor in the brain. The proposed method can be successfully applied to detect the contour of the tumor and its geometrical dimension. The result of present paper has been very promising.
