Brain tumors, especially high-grade gliomas, are one of the most lethal cancers for humankind today. Early and accurate diagnosis of tumor grading is the key for subsequent therapy and treatment. In the past, conventional computer-aided diagnosis relies on handcrafted features from magnetic resonance images (MRI), which are usually inaccurate and laborious. Recently, deep neural networks have been...
With the remarkable growth in image processing for discussing medical imaging is one of the emerging field and the requirements for advancements in medical imaging is always emergent and challenging. MRI based brain medical imaging are used for medical diagnosis since it exhibit the inner portions of the human brain and Brain tumor is the severe life altering diseases. Image segmentation plays vital...
Using neuroimaging techniques to diagnose brain tumors and detect both visible and invisible cancer cells infiltration boundaries motivated the emergence of diverse tumor segmentation algorithms. Noting the large variability in both tumor appearance and shape, the task of automatic segmentation becomes more difficult. In this paper, we propose a random-forest (RF) based learning transfer to SVM classifier...
The brain tumor segmentation studies based on MRI are attracting more and more attention in recent years due to non-invasive imaging and good soft tissue contrast. This paper describes the proposed approach for detection and extraction brain tumor from MRI scan images of brain. Asymmetry of brain is used for detection of abnormality, after detect of the tumor. The segmentation based on F-transform...
Human brain is the most complex and mysterious part of human body. Many complex functions are controlled by brain. Brain imaging is a widely applicable method for diagnosing many brain abnormalities such as brain tumor, stroke, paralysis etc. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the methods used for brain imaging. It is used for analysing internal structures in detail. Brain tumor is an abnormal...
This research concerned one advanced methodology for automatic localization of brain tumors that could be imaged by Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) modality. Such methodology could be based on Iterative closest point (ICP) matching technique by using axial MRI symmetry. The idea behind this work is to compare right and left hemispheres mirrored across a central axis. Indeed a healthy brain has a strong...
Brain tumor extraction and its analysis are challenging tasks in medical image processing because brain image and its structure is complicated that can be analyzed only by expert radiologists. Segmentation plays an important role in the processing of medical images. MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) has become a particularly useful medical diagnostic tool for diagnosis of brain and other medical images...
Nowadays, medical image processing and particularly MRI images is the one of the most challenging field and emerging to help specialists in their diagnostics. In this context and to detect automatically suspicious regions or tumors, this paper presents a new approach called hybrid segmentation inspired by both mathematical morphology operators and morphological watershed segmentation. Our approach's...
Accurate automated segmentation of brain tumors in MR images is challenging due to overlapping tissue intensity distributions and amorphous tumor shape. However, a clinically viable solution providing precise quantification of tumor and edema volume would enable better pre-operative planning, treatment monitoring and drug development. Our contributions are threefold. First, we design efficient gradient...
In this work a new method for brain tumor detection is developed. For this purpose watershed method is used in combination with edge detection operation. It is a color based brain tumor detection algorithm using color brain MRI images in HSV color space. The RGB image is converted to HSV color image by which the image is separated in three regions hue, saturation, and intensity. After contrast enhancement...
Automatic detection of brain tumor is a difficult task due to variations in type, size, location and shape of tumors. In this paper, a multi-modality framework for automatic tumor detection is presented, fusing different Magnetic Resonance Imaging modalities including T1-weighted, T2-weighted, and T1 with gadolinium contrast agent. The intensity, shape deformation, symmetry, and texture features were...
The objective of this study is to develop a CAD system for assisting radiologists in multiclass classification of brain tumors. A new hybrid machine learning system based on the Genetic Algorithm (GA) and Support Vector Machine (SVM) for brain tumor classification is proposed. Texture and intensity features of tumors are taken as input. Genetic algorithm has been used to select the set of most informative...
This paper addresses the issue of the weak association between brain MRI intensity value and anatomical meaning of MR image pixels. By investigating the deformation on brain lateral ventricles and compression from tumor, the correlation between them is quantified and utilized. With the proposed feature extraction component, lateral ventricular deformation is transformed into an additional feature...

This paper presents an automatic method for a repeatable, prior-based segmentation and classification of brain tumors in longitudinal MR scans. The method is designed to overcome the inter/intra observer variability and to provide a repeatable delineation of the tumor boundaries in a set of follow-up scans of the same patient. The method effectively incorporates manual delineation of the first scan...
Arterial spin labeling (ASL) allows non-invasive imaging and quantification of brain perfusion by magnetically labeling blood in the brain-feeding arteries. ASL has been used to study cerebrovascular diseases, brain tumors and neurodegenerative disorders as well as for functional imaging. The use of a perfusion template could be of great interest to study inter-subject regional variation of perfusion...
Brain tomographic techniques, such as MRI provide a plethora of pathophysiological tissue information that assists the clinician in diagnosis, therapy design/monitoring and surgery. Robust segmentation of brain tissues is a very important task in order to perform a number of computational tasks including morphological measurements of brain structures, automatic detection of asymmetries and pathologies,...
Region growing method is a classical method in medical image segmentation. To overcome the difficulty of manual threshold selection and sensitivity to noise, an adaptive region growing method based on the gradients and variances along and inside of the boundary curve is proposed. Firstly, we use the anisotropic diffusion filter to preserve the edge information. Then the new model is given, which chooses...
Postoperative communicating hydrocephalus has been recognized in patients with brain tumors. The associated changes in ventricle volume can be difficult to identify, particularly over short time intervals. Potentially, accurate ventricle volume estimates could provide for a better understanding of communicating hydrocephalus, and lead to more confident diagnoses. Our method evaluates ventricle size...
An automated, level-set based, segmentation framework is proposed in this work for computation of tumoral volumes on mice brain bearing gliomal tumors.
