A Survey on Brain Tumor Detection and Segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Image

Abstract

Even with tremendous advancement in medical technology tumor segmentation remain most tedious and complex work for doctors. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the most commonly used technique by the radiologist for inspection of internal human body parts without any dissection, but manual inspection consumes time and precious work hours. A possible solution for early detection of diseases such as a tumor, cancer can be computer-aided image analysis. Precise computerized classification of brain tumor form the MRI image is very important as it will lead to early detection, reduction in work hour and mistakes, propagation of automation in tumor removal and will also help to decide the course of treatment. Considering the difficulties, this work is aimed to highlight the techniques proposed in contemporary literature by summarizing the novel facts of research.
