Abstract

Medical Image analysis and processing has great significance in the field of medicine, especially in Non- invasive treatment and clinical study. Medical imaging techniques and analysis tools enable the Doctors and Radiologists to arrive at a specific diagnosis. Medical Image Processing has emerged as one of the most important tools to identify as well as diagnose various disorders. Imaging helps the Doctors to visualize and analyze the image for understanding of abnormalities in internal structures. The medical images data obtained from Bio-medical Devices which use imaging techniques like Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Mammogram, which indicates the presence or absence of the lesion along with the patient history, is an important factor in the diagnosis. The algorithm proposes the use of Digital Image processing tools for the identification of Hemorrhage and Infarct in the human brain, by using a semi-automatic seeded region growing algorithm for the processing of the clinical images. The algorithm has been extended to the Real-Time Data of CT brain images and uses an intensity-based growing technique to identify the infarct and hemorrhage affected area, of the brain. The objective of this paper is to propose a seeded region growing algorithm to assist the Radiologists in identifying the Hemorrhage and Infarct in the human brain and to arrive at a decision faster and accurate.¢Lp¤L
