matlab code for image segmentation using cellular neural networks
ABSTRACT
Image processing plays an important role in medical diagnosis. In this paper, a brain tumor detection method based on cellular neural network (CNN) algorithm is proposed. Brain tumor is an abnormal growth of cells inside the skull. To examine the location of tumor in the brain, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is used. Radiologists and doctor will evaluate the gray scale area of MRI images. This procedure takes long time and energy consuming. To overcome this problem, an automated detection method based on CNN algorithm for brain tumor is developed using Graphical User Interface (GUI) in MATLAB. Computer simulation results show that our CNN simulator is able to detect the location of brain tumor successfully and has been verified by the radiologists.
