A SURVEY PAPER ON THE METHODS FOR CLASSIFYING THE BRAIN TUMOUR CELLS

Sindhiya Devi.R

Abstract: Tumours are the extra cells that get multiplied by the loss of growth control ability of the cells. Brain Tumours are often dangerous, either being benign or malignant. If it is a malignant brain tumour, it is none other than the brain cancer with tumour cells that may be even fatal. These cells, unlike normal cells multiply at a faster rate and spread to other cells and organs. If the brain tumour cell is benign, it may not be fatal and is a non – cancerous tumour cell. It usually does not spread as it is encapsulated by a substance. But it also has its own problems that include severe headaches, seizures, nausea and drowsiness. This paper is a survey paper that involves the various methods that are available for the detection and classification of the tumours in the brain. Also, it includes the inferences of the different methods that are applied in various papers for the clustering and feature extraction of the brain tumour cells, so as to make it clear to differentiate the tumour cells from the normal cells.
