DETECTING BRAIN TUMOUR FROM MRI IMAGE USING MATLAB GUI PROGRAMMEIJCSES Journal
Engineers have been actively developing tools to detect tumors and to process medical images. Medical image segmentation is a powerful tool that is often used to detect tumors. Many scientists and researchers are working to develop and add more features to this tool. This project is about detecting Brain tumors from MRI images using an interface of GUI in Matlab. Using the GUI, this program can use various combinations of segmentation, filters, and other image processing algorithms to achieve the best results.
We start with filtering the image using Prewitt horizontal edge-emphasizing filter. The next step for detecting tumor is "watershed pixels." The most important part of this project is that all the Matlab programs work with GUI “Matlab guide”. This allows us to use various combinations of filters, and other
image processing techniques to arrive at the best result that can help us detect brain tumors in their early stages.
Performance analysis of automated brain tumor detection from MR imaging and CT scan using basic image processing techniques based on various hard and soft computing has been performed in our work. Moreover, we applied six traditional classifiers to detect brain tumor in the images. Then we applied CNN for brain tumor detection to include deep learning method in our work. We compared the result of the traditional one having the best accuracy (SVM) with the result of CNN. Furthermore, our work presents a generic method of tumor detection and extraction of its various features.

A Survey on Segmentation Techniques Used For Brain Tumor DetectionEditor IJMTER
In recent years Brain tumor is one of the most commonly found causes for death among
children and adults. Early detection of tumor is a must in order to reduce the death rate. For tumor
detection various image techniques can be used. In this paper we mainly concentrate on the images
obtained from MRI scans. In MRI images, the tumor may appear clearly, but for further treatment
the physician need to be a qualified and well experienced person. In order to help the radiologist in
detection computer-aided diagnosis was developed. The generation of a CAD system consists of
several processes and among them segmentation is considered to the most important process. Image
Segmentation is a process of partitioning an image into multiple segments. The main objective of
segmentation is to represent the image into a simplified form so as to increase the efficiency and
accuracy of the system. Therefore the segmentation of brain tumor can be considered as an important
role in the medical image process. Hence in this paper we concentrate on the recently used

Brain tumor detection and localization in magnetic resonance imagingijitcs
A tumor also known as neoplasm is a growth in the abnormal tissue which can be differentiated from the
surrounding tissue by its structure. A tumor may lead to cancer, which is a major leading cause of death and
responsible for around 13% of all deaths world-wide. Cancer incidence rate is growing at an alarming rate
in the world. Great knowledge and experience on radiology are required for accurate tumor detection in
medical imaging. Automation of tumor detection is required because there might be a shortage of skilled
radiologists at a time of great need. We propose an automatic brain tumor detectionand localization
framework that can detect and localize brain tumor in magnetic resonance imaging. The proposed brain
tumor detection and localization framework comprises five steps: image acquisition, pre-processing, edge
detection, modified histogram clustering and morphological operations. After morphological operations,
tumors appear as pure white color on pure black backgrounds. We used 50 neuroimages to optimize our
system and 100 out-of-sample neuroimages to test our system. The proposed tumor detection and localization
system was found to be able to accurately detect and localize brain tumor in magnetic resonance imaging.
The preliminary results demonstrate how a simple machine learning classifier with a set of simple
image-based features can result in high classification accuracy. The preliminary results also demonstrate the
efficacy and efficiency of our five-step brain tumor detection and localization approach and motivate us to
extend this framework to detect and localize a variety of other types of tumors in other types of medical
imagery.

Automatic detection of optic disc and blood vessels from retinal images using...eSAT Journals
Abstract Diabetic retinopathy is the common cause of blindness. This paper presents the mathematical morphology method to detect and eliminate the optic disc (OD) and the blood vessels. Detection of optic disc and the blood vessels are the necessary steps in the detection of diabetic retinopathy because the blood vessels and the optic disc are the normal features of the retinal image. And also, the optic disc and the exudates are the brightest portion of the image. Detection of optic disc and the blood vessels can help the ophthalmologists to detect the diseases earlier and faster. Optic disc and the blood vessels are detected and eliminated by using mathematical morphology methods such as closing, filling, morphological reconstruction and Otsu algorithm. The objective of this paper is to detect the normal features of the image. By using the result, the ophthalmologists can detect the diseases easily. Keywords: Blood vessels, Diabetic retinopathy, mathematical morphology, Otsu algorithm, optic disc (OD)

The research work presented in this paper is to achieve the tissue classification and automatically
diagnosis the abnormal tumor region present in Computed Tomography (CT) images using the wavelet
based statistical texture analysis method. Comparative studies of texture analysis method are performed
for the proposed wavelet based texture analysis method and Spatial Gray Level Dependence Method
(SGLDM). Our proposed system consists of four phases i) Discrete Wavelet Decomposition (ii)
Feature extraction (iii) Feature selection (iv) Analysis of extracted texture features by classifier. A
wavelet based statistical texture feature set is derived from normal and tumor regions. Genetic Algorithm
(GA) is used to select the optimal texture features from the set of extracted texture features. We construct
the Support Vector Machine (SVM) based classifier and evaluate the performance of classifier by
comparing the classification results of the SVM based classifier with the Back Propagation Neural network
classifier(BPN). The results of Support Vector Machine (SVM), BPN classifiers for the texture analysis
methods are evaluated using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) analysis. Experimental results
show that the classification accuracy of SVM is 96% for 10 fold cross validation method. The system
has been tested with a number of real Computed Tomography brain images and has achieved satisfactory
results.

Accurate and reproducible delineation of breast lesions can be challenging, as the lesions may have complicated topological structures and heterogeneous intensity distributions. Diagnosis using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with an appropriate automatic segmentation algorithm can be a better imaging technique for the early detection of malignant breast tumours. The main objective of this system is to develop a method for automatic segmentation and the early detection of breast cancer based on the application of the watershed transform to MRI images. The algorithm was separated into three major sections: pre-processing, watershed and post-processing. After computing different segments, the final image was cleared of all noise and superimposed on the original MRI image to generate the final modified image. The algorithm successfully resulted in the automatic segmentation of the MRI images, and this can be a beneficial tool for the early detection of breast cancer. This study showed that the automatic results correctly agree with manual detection

Brain Image Fusion using DWT and Laplacian Pyramid Approach and Tumor Detecti...INFOGAIN PUBLICATION
Image fusion is the process of combining important information from two or more images into a single image. The resulting image will be more enhanced than any of the input pictures. The idea of combining multiple image modalities to furnish a single, more enhanced image is well established, special fusion methods have been proposed in literature. This paper is based on image fusion using laplacian pyramid and Discreet Wavelet Transform (DWT) methods. This system uses an easy and effective algorithm for multi-focus image fusion which uses fusion rules to create fused image. Subsequently, the fused image is obtained by applying inverse discreet wavelet transform. After fused image is obtained, watershed segmentation algorithm is applied to detect the tumor part in fused image.

database of train images. The goal of top down approach is to find the best train image for each
of the local test image parts. The bottom up approach replaces the local test parts by best train
image parts, and inverse transform the best train image parts to represent a test image by the
mosaic of best train image parts. The ground truth segmentation is transferred from best train
image parts to their corresponding location in the test image.

Abstract: Brain tumor extraction in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has becoming an emergent research
area in the field of medical imaging system. Extraction involves detection, localization, tracking, enhancement
and recognition of the tumor from the MR brain images. Brain tumor extraction helps in finding the exact size
and location of tumor. The watershed transform is a popular and has interesting properties that make it useful
for many image segmentation applications. The intuitive description of this transform is quite simple, can be
parallelized and always produces a complete division of the medical images. One of the important drawbacks
associated to the watershed transform is the over segmentation that commonly results in brain images. We
present an improvement to the watershed transform in this paper for the extraction of brain tumor based on
segmentation and morphological operator. The tumor may be benign, pre-malignant or malignant and it needs
medical support for further classification.
Keywords: Brain Tumor, Morphological Operators, MRI, Segmentation, Watershed
I. Introduction
In medical imaging, segmentation of tissues and structures plays a vital role in many image analysis
applications developed for medical diagnosis [1]. Image segmentation helps in diagnosis of brain diseases and
helps in quantitative analysis of MR images such as measuring accurate size and volume of extracted portion.
Exact measurements in brain diagnosis are difficult because of different shapes and sizes of tumor [2, 3].
Treatment plans and evaluation of disease progression of that disease affect specific tissues or structures, lead to
loss and abnormalities. An accurate, reliable, and automatic segmentation of these tissues and structures can
improve diagnosis and treatment of brain diseases [4, 5]. Manual segmentation is bias and usually accurate but
is impractical for large datasets because it is tedious and time consuming. Automatic segmentation techniques
can be useful for clinical applications if they have: ability to segment like an expert, excellent performance for
diverse datasets and reasonable processing speed for large datasets because it is tedious and time Consuming [6,
7].
Brain tumor is one of the major causes for increasing mortality among children and adults. A tumor is a
neoplasm which is formed by an abnormal growth of cells. Brain tumors can be separated into two general
categories depending on the tumors origin, their growth pattern and malignancy. Tumors that arise from cells in
the brain or from the covering of the brain are called primary brain tumors. Tumors occur when cancer cells
spread to the brain from a primary cancer in another part of the body are called secondary brain tumors. It has
been concluded from the research point of view that the number of people suffering and dying from brain
tumors has been increased perhaps as much as 300 over past three decades. The best type of imaging to
diagnose most types of brain tumors is MRI [8, 9]. This technique is basically used to detect the differences in
the tissues which have a far better technique as compared to computed tomography. So this makes this
technique a very special one for the brain tumor extraction. In this paper we purpose an improvement to the
watershed transform for accurately detecting the location of brain tumor in MR images.
This research paper is organized as follows. In Section II, the proposed watershed transform is
described. Experimental results and comparison with existing extraction algorithms are presented in Section III.
Finally, conclusions and discussions come in Section IV.
II. Proposed Technique
The proposed technique for the extraction of brain tumor consists of the following processes, as shown
in Fig.1. Pre-processing, improved watershed transform, morphological operations and resulting in the brain
tumor designate confirmation. We now discuss the above mentioned steps in detail:

Fig.1. Flow Chart of Proposed Technique
2.1 Preprocessing
In this stage MR brain image is enhanced in the way that finer details are improved and noise is
removed from the image. Commonly used enhancement and noise reduction techniques are implemented that
can give best possible results[10]. Enhancement will result in more prominent edges and a sharpened image is
obtained, noise will be reduced thus reducing the blurring effect from the image. In addition to enhancement,
image segmentation will also be applied. This improved and enhanced image will help in detecting edges and
improving the quality of the overall image. Edge detection will lead to finding the exact location of tumor [11].
In this work sobel edge-emphasizing filter is used to sharpen the MR brain image as we need the sharp
edges because this will help us to detect the boundary of the tumor.
2.2 Methodology
2.2.1 Watershed Transform
Watershed transform [2] is a most efficient segmentation technique coming from the field of
mathematical morphology. The intuitive idea of this transform is quite simple: if we consider the image as a
landscape or topographic relief, where the height of each point is directly related to its gray level, and consider
rain gradually falling on the terrain, then the watersheds are the lines that separate the “lakes” actually called
catchment basins that form. The watershed transform is computed on the gradient of the original image, so that
the catchment basin boundaries are located at high gradient points. This transform has been widely used in many
fields of image processing, including medical MR image segmentation, due to the number of advantages that it
possesses: it is quite simple, intuitive, fast, parallelized technique and produces a complete division of the image
in separated regions even if the contrast is poor, thus avoiding the need for any kind of contour joining. Some
important drawbacks associated to the watershed transform are the over segmentation and poor detection of
significant areas with low contrast boundaries that commonly results in MR brain images.
2.2.2 Marker Controlled Watershed Segmentation
Touching objects separation in an image is one of the most difficult works in medical image
processing. The watershed transform is often applied to this problem. The watershed transform finds catchment

basins and watershed ridge lines in an image by treating it as a surface where light pixels are high and dark
pixels are low. Segmentation using the watershed transform works better, if you can identify or mark foreground
objects and background locations. Marker-controlled watershed segmentation follows this basic procedure [11]:
i. Compute a segmentation function. This is an image whose dark regions are the objects you are trying to
segment.
ii. Compute foreground markers. These are connected blobs of pixels within each of the objects.
iii. Compute background markers. These are pixels that are not part of any object.
iv. Modify the segmentation function so that it only has maxima at the foreground and background marker
locations.
v. Compute the watershed transform of the modified segmentation function.
2.2.3 Improvement of the watershed Transform
In medical images, the markers selection and extraction are not so easy. Some images may be very
noisy and image processing becomes more and more complex. In some cases, the objects to be detected may be
so complex and so varied in shape and size that it is very hard to find improved algorithm enabling their
extraction. For that reason, we need to go a step further in the segmentation approach. We know that the initial
watershed transformation of the gradient image provides very unsatisfactory results many apparently
homogeneous regions are fragmented in small pieces. Fortunately, the watershed transform itself, applied on
another level, will help us to merge the fragmented regions. Indeed, if we look at the boundaries produced by
the segmentation, they do not have the same weight. Those which are inside the almost homogeneous regions
are weaker. In order to compare these boundaries, we need to introduce neighborhood relations between them.
The improved watershed transform presents some advantages: The watershed lines always correspond to the
most significant edges between the markers and it always detects a contour in the area; where there are no strong
edges between the Markers. This contour will be located on the pixels with higher contrast. In this work we first
remove the noise from the image and pixel values are adjusted so that they will help to obtain the well
segmented image.
2.3 Morphological Operations
Mathematical morphology [8, 11] commonly refers to a broad set of image processing operations that
process images based on shapes. Morphological operations selects appropriate structuring element of the
processed image and makes use of the basic theory of morphology including erosion, dilation, opening and
closing operation and the operations of them to get clear MR image edge. In the process, the synthesized modes
of the operations and the feature of structuring element decide the result of the processed image. Detailed
saying, the synthesized mode of the operation reflects the relation between the processed image and original
image, and the selection of structuring element decides the effect and precision and the result. Therefore, the
keys of morphological operations can be generalized for the design of morphological filter structure and the
selection of structuring element. In brain tumor extraction, we select disc shaped structuring element by texture
features of the image and the size, shape and direction of structuring element must been considered roundly. By
the operation features of morphology, erosion and dilation operations satisfy:
𝐅 ⊝ 𝐁 ⊆ 𝐅 ⊆ 𝐅⨁𝐁 𝟏
Where, F denote a gray scale brain image,B denote structuring element.Opening and closing operations satisfy:
𝐅 ∘ 𝐁 ⊆ 𝐅 ⊆ 𝐅 ∙ 𝐁 (𝟐)
In this work morphological operations are applied on the converted binary image. The purpose of the
morphological operators is to extract the tumor part of the MR images.
III. Experimental Results
A large data set consisting of a number of MR tumor images has been collected; all patients have ages
ranging from 18 to 60.Their MRI scans were stored in database of images in JPEG format.

provide close, smooth and accurate final contours with low computational complexity. The proposed work can
be extended by adapting more segmentation algorithm to suit the different medical image segmentation.
