M.Karuna, Ankita Joshi

Abstract: Medical image processing is the most challenging and emerging field now a day’s processing of MRI images is one of the parts of this field. The quantitative analysis of MRI brain tumor allows obtaining useful key indicators of disease progression. This is a computer aided diagnosis systems for detecting malignant texture in biological study. This paper presents an approach in computer-aided diagnosis for early prediction of brain cancer using Texture features and neuro classification logic. This paper describes the proposed strategy for detection; extraction and classification of brain tumour from MRI scan images of brain; which incorporates segmentation and morphological functions which are the basic functions of image processing. Here we detect the tumour, segment the tumour and we calculate the area of the tumour. Severity of the disease can be known, through classes of brain tumour which is done through neuro fuzzy classifier and creating a user friendly environment using GUI in MATLAB. In this paper cases of 10 patients is taken and severity of disease is shown and different features of images are calculated.

Keywords: Brain cancer, Neuro Fuzzy classifier, MRI, GUI.
