Image Processing Techniques for identifying tumors in an MRI image
This is an incremental survey paper for medical imaging researchers, focusing on existing methods without new results.
The paper surveys image processing techniques for automated tumor detection in MRI images, comparing traditional methods like Morphological Tools and Region Growing Technique.
Medical Resonance Imaging or MRI is a medical image processing technique that used radio waves to scan the body. It is a tomographic imaging technique, principally used in the field of radiology. With the advantage of being a painless diagnostic procedure, MRI allows medical personnel to illustrate clear pictures of the anatomy and the physiological processes occurring in the body, thus allowing early detection and treatment of diseases. These images, combined with image processing techniques may be used in the detection of tumors, difficult to identify with the naked eye. This digital assignment surveys the different image processing techniques used in Automated Tumor Detection (ATD). This assignment initiates the discussion with a comparison of traditional techniques such as Morphological Tools (MT) and Region Growing Technique (RGT).
