Abstract

The research offers a fully automatic method for tumor segmentation on Magnetic Resonance Images MRI. In this method, at first in the preprocessing level, anisotropic diffusion filter is applied to the image by 8-connected neighborhood for removing noise from it. In the second step, using Support Vector Machine SVM Classifier for tumor detection accurately. After creating the appropriate mask image, based on the symmetry property in axial and coronary magnetic resonance images. The tumor detected and segmented (Dice coefficient > 0.90) in a few seconds. The method applied on several MR images with different types regardless of the degree of complexity in those images.
