Brain Aneurysm Extraction in MRI Images

Abstract

Medical image processing is the most demanding and emerging field which includes the processing of MRI images. Aneurysm can develop in any blood vessel in the body especially in the brain and abdominal aorta. In regards to brain aneurysm, it has been clarified that the MRI is a more preferable detection method to inspect this brain abnormality. This paper experiments MRI brain aneurysm images using image processing techniques in extracting a clearer image of the brain aneurysm. The method proposed includes preprocessing techniques and post processing techniques. Preprocessing techniques involves noise removal function and image enhancement function. The post processing techniques is segmentation and morphological function. All of these techniques are the basic concepts of image processing. Detection and extraction of brain aneurysm from MRI images of the brain is done by using MATLAB software.
