title = "Survey on brain tumor segmentation methods",
abstract = "The segmentation of brain tumor using Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) plays an important role in the medical image process. This paper presents a comprehensive survey on brain tumor methods and technology using MRI images. Generally, brain tumor segmentation methods can divided into two main categories, spatial continuous and spatial discrete methods. Several methods, techniques, related advantage and weakness will be described and discussed. The evaluation measures are mentioned and the qualities of different method focus on the methods that were applied on the standard data sets. The efficient and stably brain tumor segmentation is still a challenging task for the unpredictable appearance and shape of the brain tumor.",
