Problems solved by technology

However, FCM also has some shortcomings. The sum of the membership degrees of the same sample belonging to all classes is 1, which makes it sensitive to noise and outliers; at the same time, it is sensitive to the initial cluster center.

Embodiment Construction

[0069] The invention solves the brain tumor segmentation problem of MRI by using the cooperative possibility FCM algorithm under the framework of fuzzy set theory. In fuzzy set theory, FCM is an important research direction. The core idea of ​​FCM is to find the appropriate membership degree and cluster center, so that the variance and iteration error of the cost function in the cluster are minimized. The value of the cost function is from pixel to cluster Weighted cumulative sum of class centrality 2-norm measures. In order to overcome the shortcomings of the FCM algorithm, some scholars have proposed possible C-means clustering and weighted fuzzy C-means clustering. Due to the arbitrariness of the value of the membership degree, the clustering effect of these algorithms is not ideal, and the cluster centers are prone to overlap. Therefore, some scholars proposed the FCM algorithm based on the possibility of uncertain membership degree. This algorithm improves the effect of ...

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of medical equipment, is an important aspect in the field of medical imaging, and plays an important role in the fields of brain tumor cutting, brain tumor classification, and brain tumor identification. Specifically, it involves a method and system for MRI brain tumor image segmentation based on a possible FCM algorithm. Background technique [0002] With the continuous increase in the breadth and depth of clinical applications of medical images, medical images have become one of the important research directions in the field of medical image processing; especially the research on brain tumors has become a hot research topic in recent years. The incidence of brain tumors is relatively high, accounting for about 1.4% of systemic tumors, but the death rate is more than 2.4%. Therefore, only early detection and treatment in clinical practice can effectively reduce the huge harm caused by brain tumors to human ...
