Brain Tumor Growth and Volume Detection by Ellipsoid-Diameter Technique Using MRI Data

Magnetic resonance (MR) images are a very useful tool to detect the tumor growth in brain but precise brain image segmentation is a difficult and time consuming process. Manual segmentation of brain tumors from MR images is a challenging and time consuming task. In this paper our approach has been discussed to detect the volume of brain tumor cells using ellipsoid-Diameter and graph based method [1] to find the volume. Here MRI data set from 100 patients were collected. The graph based on pixel value is drawn taking the various points from the tumor cells lies in the original position from the affected region. Here the affected region is considered as ellipsoid shape and the volumes have been calculated from it. In this system the mean has been found from the volumes grown in the affected region (tumor area). The experimental results show that 97% brain tumor growth and volume can be measured by this Ellipsoid diameter Technique
