ABSTRACT
Segmentation of tissues and structures from medical images is the first step in many image analysis applications developed for medical diagnosis. With the growing research on medical image segmentation, it is essential to categorize the research outcomes and provide researchers with an overview of the existing segmentation techniques in medical images. In this paper, different image segmentation methods applied on magnetic resonance brain images are reviewed. The selection of methods includes sources from image processing journals, conferences, books, dissertations and thesis. The conceptual details of the methods are explained and mathematical details are avoided for simplicity. Both broad and detailed categorizations of reviewed segmentation techniques are provided. The state of art research is provided with emphasis on developed techniques and image properties used by them. The methods defined are not always mutually independent. Hence, their inter relationships are also stated. Finally, conclusions are drawn summarizing commonly used techniques and their complexities in application.
