PREPROCESSING OF MRI IMAGES FOR BRAIN TUMOR DETECTION

Abstract: In today’s biomedical research and diagnosing field it is well known that MRI stands still the best option for identifying many internal body problems. Among all those applications this paper concentrates on Brain MRI scanning. Because MRI place very vital role in diagnosing the brain tumor. Since MRI can create more accurate and detailed pictures of body anatomy rather than computerized tomography (CT). But MRI images are normally suspected to some of the noises such as Gaussian noise and Poisson noise. Hence it is very much required to pre-process them before going for clustering.

Keywords: MRI, CT, Gaussian noise, Poisson noise.
