Abstract
Brain portion extraction from magnetic resonance image (MRI) of human head scan is an important process in medical image analysis. In this paper, we propose a computationally simple and a robust brain segmentation method. This method is based on forming a contour using the intensity values that satisfy a set property and detect the boundary of the brain. After detecting the brain boundary the brain portion is segmented. Experiments were conducted by applying the method on 3 volumes of T1 MRI data set collected from Internet Brain Segmentation Repository(IBSR) and compared the results with that of the popular skull stripping method Brain Extraction Tool (BET). The experimental results show that the proposed algorithm gives better results than that of BET.
