Preprocessing and Skull Stripping of Brain Tumor Extraction from Magnetic Resonance Imaging Images Using Image Processing

Abstract

Many neuroimaging processing functions believe the preprocessing and skull strip (SS) to be an important step in brain tumor diagnosis. For complex physical reasons intensity changes in brain structure and magnetic resonance imaging of the brain, a proper preprocessing and SS is an important part. The method of removing the skull is relayed to the taking away of the skull area in the brain for medical investigation. It is more correct and necessary techniques for distinguishing between brain regions and cranial regions and this is believed a demanding task. This paper gives detailed review on the preprocessing and traditional transition to machine learning and deep learning-based automatic SS techniques of magnetic resonance imaging.
