A Swarm-based Approach To Medical Image Analysis

Abstract
Image segmentation is an indispensable part of the visualization of human tissues, particularly during analysis of Magnetic Resonance (MR) images. Unfortunately images always contain a significant amount of noise due to operator performance, equipment, and the environment can lead to serious inaccuracies with segmentation. A segmentation technique based on an extension to the traditional C-means (FCM) clustering algorithm is proposed in this paper. A neighborhood attraction, which is dependent on the relative location and features of neighboring pixels considered.. The degree of attraction is optimized by a Particle Swarm Optimization model. Paper demonstrates the superiority of the proposed technique to FCM-based method. This segmentation method is component of an MR image-based classification system for tumors, currently being developed.
