Boundary detection of biomedical images using modified morphological operation

Medical image analysis is a complex task in which a human expert makes extensive use of the knowledge of anatomy and imaging techniques. Specially, computer vision point of view the automatic detection and recognition has a major role for the current research. The medical equipments can be design based on the analysis of biomedical signals and images. In this paper, an attempt has been made to detect the boundary of CT image of brain and lungs. Morphological analysis with variation of structuring elements is considered as the modified approach. It has been applied with the new approach for the purpose of detection. Also the result has been compared with the standard methods. The successive application results an effective performance. This will help to design the CT and MRI machines to improve the performance.
