Title	Region Growing for MRI Brain Tumor Volume Analysis
Authors	Dubey, R. B.; Hanmandlu, M.; Gupta, S. K.; Gupta, S. K.
Abstract	The tumor volume is a significant prognostic factor in the treatment of malignant tumors. Manual segmentation of brain tumors from MR images is a challenging and time consuming task. A semi-automated region growing segmentation method is proposed to segment brain tumor from MR images. The proposed method can successfully segment a tumor provided that the parameters are set properly. This method is applied to 8-tumor contained MRI slices from 2 brain tumor patients´ and satisfactory segmentation results are achieved.
