Abstract
An early diagnosis of brain disorders is very important for timely treatment of such diseases.Several imaging modalities are used to capture the anomalities by obtaining either the physiological or morphological information. The scans obtained using imaging modalities such as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are investigated by the radiologists in order to diagnose the diseases. However such investigations are time consuming and might involve errors. In this paper, a fuzzy c-means clustering method is used for brain MRI image segmentation.The GLCM features are obtained from the segmented images and are subsequently mapped in to a PCA space. A support vector machine (SVM) classifier is used to classify brain MRI images taken from BRATS-13 images. The method is evaluated by employing various performance measures such as Jaccard index, Dice index, mean square error (MSE), peak signal to noise ratio (PSNR). The results show that the method outperforms the existing methods.
