    Abstract :

    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) or magnetic resonance tomography (MRT) is a medical imaging technique used in radiology to image the anatomy and the physiological processes of the body in both health and disease. There are MRI scanners which uses strong magnetic field and field gradient to form images of the body. To detect any type of growth in the brain region we can use this technique. Growths can me natural and unnatural. In this project we propose an image segmentation method to identify or detect any unnatural growth in brain region taking input as a Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) image of the brain which has some unnatural growth. Whether the detected growth is tumor or cancer, this will be our future scope of the paper.
