Medical image processing is the most challenging and emerging field now a days. Processing of MRI images is one of the part of this field. This paper describes the proposed strategy to detect & extraction of brain tumour from patient’s MRI scan images of the brain. This method incorporates with some noise removal functions, segmentation and morphological operations which are the basic concepts of image processing. Detection and extraction of tumour from MRI scan images of the brain is done by using MATLAB software. Tumour is defined as the abnormal growth of the tissues.

Brain tumour is an abnormal mass of tissue in which cells grow and multiply uncontrollably, seemingly unchecked by the mechanisms that control normal cells. Brain tumors can be primary or metastatic, and either malignant or benign. A metastatic brain tumour is a cancer that has spread from elsewhere in the body to the brain Epilepsy is a brain disorder in which clusters of nerve cells, or neurons, in the brain sometimes signal abnormally. Neurons normally generate electrochemical impulses that act on other neurons, glands, and muscles to produce human thoughts, feelings, and actions. In epilepsy, the normal pattern of neuronal activity becomes disturbed, causing strange sensations, emotions, and behaviour or sometimes convulsions, muscle spasms, and loss of consciousness

Project Description:

1. MATLAB: MATLAB is short form for MATrix LABoratory. It is the fourth generation programming language and multi-paradigm numerical computing environment. MATLAB allows matrix manipulations, functions and data plotting, algorithms implementation, user interface creation, interfacing with programs written in other languages including C, C++, Java, Fortran, etc.
   MATLAB is widely used in image processing, signal processing, academic and research institutions as well as industrial enterprises. Another important point is that most of the MATLAB users come from various backgrounds like science, engineering and economics. So the software come with more user friendly interface and gives a very neat architecture to work on.
