چکیده

Aim of this paper is to develop an efficient fuzzy c-mean based segmentation algorithm to extract tumor region from MR brain images. First, cluster centroids are initialized through data analysis of tumor region, which optimizes the standard fuzzy cmean algorithm. Next, reconstruction based morphological operations are applied to enhance its performance for brain tumor extraction. The results show that simple fuzzy c-mean could not segment the region of interest properly, whereas enhanced algorithm effectively extracts the tumor region. From comparison with existing segmentation methods, enhanced fuzzy c-mean algorithm emerges as the most effective algorithm for extracting region of interest.
