Abstract: Brain tumor detection using image processing is meant to identify the cancerous growth and its intensity in the human brain. The proposed system in addition to identifying the cancer lesions, also keeps a record of the patient’s treatment history. This helps the medical practitioner in proceeding with the treatment of that particular patient. The scan images of a patient are given as input. Using Partial Voluming algorithm and expectation maximization algorithm in image processing, the cancer lesions are projected out.
