Medical Image Segmentation Methods For Skull Stripping From MRI Of Human Brain Scans

Human brain plays an important role in the functions of human body. Any defects and abnormalities in the human brain lead to major problems in the functions of the human body. Such defects can be identified by taking images of the affected tissues using different imaging modalities. In this paper, we present the image processing techniques which are used to remove skull from the MRI of human brain scans. When the skull is removed, the physicians can easily interpret the brain tissues and identify defects. It is helpful to diagnose a disease and control its progression.
