Brain Tumor Detection and Identification Using K
Brain Tumor Detection and Identification Using K
Existing System
Image processing is a process where input image is processed to get output also
as an image or attributes of the image. Main aim of all image processing techniques is to
recognize the image or object under consideration easier visually. Segmentation of images
holds a crucial position in the field of image processing. In medical imaging,
segmentation is important for feature extraction, image measurements and image display.
A tumor can be defined as a mass which grows without any control of normal forces.
Real time diagnosis of tumors by using more reliable algorithms has been an active of the latest
developments in medical imaging and detection of brain tumor in MR and CT scan
images. Hence image segmentation is the fundamental problem used in tumor
detection. Image segmentation can be defined as the partition or segmentation of
a digital image into similar regions with a main aim to simplify the image under
consideration into something that is more meaningful and easier to analyze visually. Image
segmentation methods can be classified a thresholding, region based, supervised and
unsupervised techniques

Classification techniques
Proposed System
the brain MRI images for detection of tumors using clustering techniques. A cluster
can be defined as a group of pixels where all the pixels in certain group defined by a
similar relationship. Clustering is also known as unsupervised classification technique. The name
unsupervised classification because the algorithm automatically classifies objects based on user
given criteria. Here K-means clustering algorithm for segmentation of the image followed
by morphological filtering is used for tumor detection from the brain MRI images.
Segmentation of brain image is imperative in surgical planning and treatment in the
field of medicine. In this work, we have proposed a computer aided system for brain MR
image segmentation for detection of tumor location using K-Means clustering algorithm.
The proposed brain tumor detection comprises three steps: image acquisition, pre-
processing, and K-Means clustering. We were able to segment tumor from different brain
MR images from our database.
