The paper presents an algorithm of segmentation of brain imaging examination results − computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography (PET) − to identify, compute, and visualize the brain tumors. Computer software was developed in the MATLAB environment using active contour methods: Edge and Chan-Vese. A review of the current treatment plan for patients with diagnosed glioblastoma multiforme was included to emphasize the significance of the solved problem. The work presents executed steps in the algorithm with a detailed description of thresholding process. Visual results of tumors were performed and presented.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
