A survey on brain tumor detection using image processing techniques

Biomedical Image Processing is a growing and demanding field. It comprises of many different types of imaging methods likes CT scans, X-Ray and MRI. These techniques allow us to identify even the smallest abnormalities in the human body. The primary goal of medical imaging is to extract meaningful and accurate information from these images with the least error possible. Out of the various types of medical imaging processes available to us, MRI is the most reliable and safe. It does not involve exposing the body to any sorts of harmful radiation. This MRI can then be processed, and the tumor can be segmented. Tumor Segmentation includes the use of several different techniques. The whole process of detecting brain tumor from an MRI can be classified into four different categories: Pre-Processing, Segmentation, Optimization and Feature Extraction. This survey involves reviewing the research by other professionals and compiling it into one paper.
