Abstract

Background: Brain image segmentation is one of the essential tasks in medical image analysis. Digital Brain MR Images usually contain Noise, inhomogeneity, and sometimes deviation due to the capturing device's configuration. Therefore, accurate segmentation of brain MRI images is deployed to measure and visualize the brain's anatomical structures, analyze brain changes, delineate pathological regions, and for surgical planning and image-guided interventions. During the past few decades, various segmentation techniques of different accuracy and degree of complexity have been developed and reported in the literature. In this paper, several popular methods are used for brain MRI segmentation and focus on their capabilities, advantages, and pitfalls. Likewise, we also discuss modern image segmentation techniques by Deep Learning Technology and deliberate the metrics to evaluate the brain tumor segmentation and dataset availability performance. Eventually, we suggest future research challenges among brain tumor multimodal imaging techniques.

Important Announcements

All the authors, conference coordinators, conveners, and guest editors kindly check their articles' originality before submitting them to IJCERT. If any material is found to be duplicate submission or sent to other journals when the content is in the process with IJCERT, fabricated data, cut and paste (plagiarized), at any stage of processing of material, IJCERT is bound to take the following actions.
1. Rejection of the article.
2. The author will be blocked for future communication with IJCERT if duplicate articles are submitted.
3. A letter regarding this will be posted to the Principal/Director of the Institution where the study was conducted.
4. A List of blacklisted authors will be shared among the Chief Editors of other prestigious Journals
We have been screening articles for plagiarism with a world-renowned tool: Turnitin However, it is only rejected if found plagiarized. This more stern action is being taken because of the illegal behavior of a handful of authors who have been involved in ethical misconduct. The Screening and making a decision on such articles costs colossal time and resources for the journal. It directly delays the process of genuine materials.
