Brain Tumor And CAD Through MRI By Using Wavelet Transform And Genetic Algorithm

Abstract

A brain tumor is an intracranial solid neoplasm, a tumor (defined as an abnormal growth of cells) within the brain or the central spinal canal. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of thebest technologies currently being used for diagnosing braintumor. Brain tumor is diagnosed at advanced stages with thehelp of the MRI image. In this task, radiology experts are likely tobenefit from the support of Computer Aided Diagnosis(CAD) systems to builtaround robust classification processes. In this paper, a method that combines wavelet transform for segmentation and genetic algorithm is used to yield high diagnostic classification accuracy for a broad range of brain tumour pathologies. Keywords:Brain Tumor, MRI, Wavelet Transform, Genetic Algorithm.
