Detection of Brain Tumor Using K-Means Clustering

Abstract

A tumor is a mass of tissue that's formed by an accumulation of abnormal cells.Normally, the cells in your body age, die, and are replaced by new cells.With cancer and other tumors, something disrupts this cycle.Tumor cells grow, even though the body does not need them, and unlike normal old cells, they don't die.As this process goes on, the tumor continues to grow as more and more cells are added to the mass.Image processing is an active research area in which medical image processing is a highly challenging field. Brain tumor analysis is done by doctors but its grading gives different conclusions which may vary from one doctor to another. In this project, it provides a foundation of segmentation and edge detection, as the first step towards brain tumor grading. Current segmentation approaches are reviewed with an emphasis placed on revealing the advantages and disadvantages of these methods for medical imaging applications. There are dissimilar types of algorithm were developed for brain tumor detection. Comparing to the other algorithms the performance of fuzzy c-means plays a major role. The patient's stage is determined by this process, whether it can be cured with medicine or not. Also we study difficulty to detect Mild traumatic brain injury (mTBI) the current tools are qualitative, which can lead to poor diagnosis and treatment and to overcome these difficulties, an algorithm is proposed that takes advantage of subject information and texture information from MR images. A contextual model is developed to simulate the progression of the disease using multiple inputs, such as the time post injury and the location of injury. Textural features are used along with feature selection for a single MR modality.
