Medical image segmentation plays an important role in diagnosis and various medical evaluations. Detection and segmentation of Brain tumor accurately is a challenging task. Different kinds of segmentation algorithms have been proposed for image segmentation. In this paper, a method is proposed that integrates advanced K-Means clustering and marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm for MRI images of brain. The Enhanced K-means clustering is used to produce a primary segmentation of the image before applying marker controlled watershed segmentation algorithm to it. It has been shown that proposed method is able to eliminate over segmentation problem which generally occurs in case of conservative watershed algorithm.
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.
