BRAIN TUMOR DETECTION IN MEDICAL IMAGING USING MATLAB

Magnetic Resonance Imaging has become a widely used method of high quality medical imaging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an advanced medical imaging technique providing rich information about the human soft tissue anatomy. Mathematical morphology provides a systematic approach to analyze the geometric characteristics of signals or images, and has been applied widely to many applications such as edge detection, object segmentation, noise suppression and so on. Image Segmentation is used to extract various features of the image which can be merger or split in order to build objects of interest on which analysis and interpretation can be performed. The paper focuses on the detection of brain tumor and cancer cells of MRI Images using mathematical morphology.
