Abstract

BACKGROUND: Medical image segmentation is an essential step for most consequent image analysis tasks. Medical images can be segmented manually, but the accuracy of image segmentation using the automated segmentation algorithms is more when compared with the manual calculations. In this paper, an automated segmentation and classification of tissues are proposed for MR brain images.
