Brain Tumor Detection Using MRI Image Analysis

Brain tumor is the most commonly occurring malignancy among human beings, so study of brain tumor is important. In this paper, we propose an image segmentation method to indentify or detect tumor from the brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). There are many thresholding methods developed but they have different result in each image. So we need a method by which detection of tumor can be done uniquely. In this paper we propose a set of image segmentation algorithms which gives a satisfactory result on brain tumor images.
