Automatic MRI Meningioma Segmentation Using Estimation Maximization

With the advancement of the imaging facility and image processing technique, computer assisted surgical planning and image guided technology have become increasingly used in neurosurgery. For MRI has the characteristic of multi-spectral image data, so knowledge-base techniques is widely used in brain MRI segmentation. Here we recognize the location of the tumor automatically and provide an accurate result by estimation maximization method. Simultaneously, promote the efficiency of reading image as well
