Abstract: This survey focuses on techniques available for MRI image segmentation for brain tumor detection using computer assisted image processing algorithms. The need of automated and or semi-automated tumor detection is highly regarded and required as the technology is progressing and the cases of brain tumors and edema are rising. The current technologies and available methods are reviewed in this paper.
