Abstract

Diagnosing disease by playing the role of image processing is one form of current medical technology development. The results of image processing performance have been able to provide accurate diagnoses to be used as material for decision-making. This research aims to carry out the process of detecting brain tumor objects in Computed Tomography (CT-Scan) images by developing a segmentation technique using the Adaptive Threshold Morphology (ATM) algorithm. The performance of the ATM algorithm in the segmentation process involves the Extended Adaptive Global Treshold (eAGT) function to produce an optimal threshold value. This research method involves several stages of the process in detecting tumor objects. The preprocessing stage is carried out using the cropping and filtering process which is optimized using the eAGT function. The next stage is the morphological segmentation process involving erosion and dilation operations. The final stage of the segmentation process using the ATM algorithm is labeling objects that have been detected. The research dataset used 187 Computed Tomography-Scan images from 10 brain tumor patients. The results of this study show that the accuracy rate for detecting brain tumor objects in Computed Tomography-Scan images is 93.47%. These results can provide an automatic and effective detection process based on the optimal threshold value that has been generated. Overall, this research contributes to the development of segmentation algorithms in image processing and can be used as an alternative solution in the treatment of brain tumor patients.
