Abstract

In past few years, the growth in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) provided a new way to detect and diagnose the brain related problems such as Alzheimer, schizophrenia and brain tumor. Many supervised and unsupervised techniques are available for image segmentation. In medical field supervised and unsupervised segmentation both are available but unsupervised is in more demand then supervised because it requires external assistance. Whereas unsupervised segmentation reflects better results. In this paper we present a survey on MRI segmentation using SOM (Self Organizing Map), SOM is based on unsupervised clustering technique. Also present a review of various researchers in the field of MRI Segmentation.Keywords: Feature extraction, self organizing map, MR image segmentation, unsupervised segmentation Cite this ArticlePraveen Kumar Prajapati, Poonam Sharma.
