Certain investigations on texture Analysis techniques for segmentation And classification of brain CT images

Abstract

Over the last thirty years there has been an explosion in our newlineknowledge of the biochemical machinery of the nervous system In the last few newlineyears with the advent of new imaging technologies such as computed newlinetomography imaging CT it has been possible to explore the anatomical and newlinefunctional structure of the human brain The visualization of the different tissues newlineand their analysis has opened up a new dimension to the neuro anatomical and newlinefunctional disorders that might exist within the human brain These advantages newlineof these imaging modalities like CT and MRI Magnetic Resonance Imaging newlinehas to offer will be fully exploited only through intelligent interpretation of the newlinedata This has been the major limitation in realizing the potential of the imaging newlineThus the sophisticated and optimal analysis of the data is the need of the hour in newlinethe field of neuro medicine newlineComputed Tomography imaging is though expensive because of newlinecapital costs is easy to perform because of its noninvasive nature It is clearly newlinevery important to extract the maximum possible information from any image newlineobtained However image processing modes based on scan sections or newlineradiographic views may not completely provide diagnostic information at an newlineearly stage when it would be easier to control a disease make a therapeutic newlinedecision or perform surger newline newline
