Medical image segmentation plays a key role in identifying the disease type. In the last decade, various methods have been proposed for medical images segmentation. Despite many efforts made in medical imaging, segmentation of medical images still faces challenges, concerning the variety of shape, location, and texture quality. According to recent studies and magnetic resonance imaging, segmentation of brain images at around 6 months of age is a challenging issue in brain image segmentation due to low tissue contrast between white matter (WM) and grey matter (GM) regions. In this study, using the deep learning model, the convolutional network for the brain fragmentation is presented. First, the image quality is improved using the pre‐processing method. The number of layers utilised in the proposed method is less than that of known models. In the pooling layer, instead of using the maximum function, the averaging function is employed. Sixty‐four batches are also considered to improve the performance of the proposed method. The method is evaluated on the iSeg‐2017 database. The DISC and ASC measures of the proposed method for the three classes of GM, WM, and cerebrovascular fluid are 0.902, 0.594, 0.930, 0.481, 0.971, and 0.231, respectively.
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.
