Glioma tumor detection in brain MRI image using ANFIS-based normalized graph cut approach

Glioma is the severe type of brain tumor which leads to immediate death for the case high-grade Glioma. The Glioma tumor patient in case of low grade can extend their life period if tumor is timely detected and providing proper surgery. In this article, a computer-aided fully automated Glioma brain tumor detection and segmentation system is proposed using Adaptive Neuro Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS) classifier based Graph cut approach. Initially, orientation analysis is performed on the brain image to obtain the edge enhanced abnormal regions in the brain. Then, features are extracted from the orientation enhanced image and these features are trained and classified using ANFIS classifier to classify the test brain image into either normal or abnormal. Normalized Graph cur segmentation methodology is applied on the classified abnormal brain image to segment the tumor region. The proposed Glioma tumor segmentation method is validated using the metric parameters as sensitivity, specificity, accuracy and dice similarity coefficient.
