Abstract

A new method that automatically detects and segments brain tumors in 3D MR images is presented. An initial detection is performed by a fuzzy possibilistic clustering technique and morphological operations, while a deformable model is used to achieve a precise segmentation. This method has been successfully applied on five 3D images with tumors of different sizes and different locations, showing that the combination of region-based and contour-based methods improves the segmentation of brain tumors.
