Development of a combinational framework to concurrently perform tissue segmentation and tumor identification in T1 - W, T2 - W, FLAIR and MPR type magnetic resonance brain images

作者:

Highlights:

• Development of a novel combinatorial technique for MR brain image analysis.

• Achieving simultaneous tumor detection and tissue segmentation using an automated algorithm.

• Minimal time duration and lesser manual intervention for segmenting the input MR brain images.

• A dynamic algorithm for identifying the heterogeneous tumor regions.

• A vivid comparison made for proving the efficacy of the proposed BFOA based MFCM methodology.
