Fuzzy Segmentation of MR Brain Real Images Using Modalities Fusion

With the development of acquisition image techniques, more data coming from different sources of image become available. Multi-modality image fusion seeks to combine information from different images to obtain more inferences than can be derived from a single modality. The main aim of this work is to improve cerebral IRM real images segmentation by fusion of modalities (T1, T2 and DP) using Fuzzy C-Means approach (FCM). The evaluation of adopted approaches was compared using four criteria which are: the standard deviation (STD), entropy of information (IE), the coefficient of correlation (CC) and the space frequency (SF). The experimental results on MR brain real images prove that the adopted scenarios of fusion approaches are more accurate and robust than the standard FCM approach Keywords-component; Data fusion, Segmentation, Fuzzy CMeans, MR images.
