Abstract
Image segmentation is a vital step in medical image processing. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used for brain tissues extraction in white and gray matter. These tissues extraction help in image segmentation applications such as radiotherapy planning, clinical diagnosis, treatment planning. This paper presents utilization of fuzzy C-means (FCM) clustering by using wavelet and bidimensional empirical mode decomposition (BEMD) to improve the quality of noisy MR images. The signal to noise ratio (SNR) value is calculated from FCM clustering data to examine the best segmentation technique. The experiment with synthetic Brain Web images has demonstrated the efficiency and robustness of the appropriate approach in segmenting medical MRI.
