Medical image segmentation based on morphological reconstruction operation

Medical image segmentation is a key factor for medical image comprehending and explaining.Its main aim is to segment the object from the surroundings by describing the feature of the object.Based on basic theories and methods of mathematical morphology,the paper introduces morphological reconstruction operation and basic steps of morphological image segmentation.The experimental results indicates that the morphological reconstruction operation is efficient for brain MRI segmentation,and the methods can segment the brains from other tissue successfully.
