Abstract

Diagnosing the brain tumor from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) applications is one of the challenging task in medical image processing. Traditionally many segmentation methods are used to address this issue. This paper introduces a segmentation method along with image fusion. Here a Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) method is chosen, for image fusion followed by segmentation using Support Vector Machine (SVM) for detecting the abnormality region. The types of MRI images considered here include T1-weighted (T1-w), T2-weighted (T2-w) and FLAIR images. The various fusion combinations are T1-w and T2-w, T1-w and FLAIR, T2-w and FLAIR. Experimental results suggest that on an average, fusion-based segmented result is superior to non-fusion-based segmented result.
