Abstract

We have developed a magnetic resonance (MR) image segmentation system which consists of a fuzzy ruled-based system and a fuzzy c-means algorithm (FCM). The first stage of the system is the fuzzy ruled-based system which classifies most pixels of MR images into several known classes and one `unclassified' class. In the second stage, the classified result of the first stage is used to find the initial prototypes for FCM and the `unclassified' pixels are classified by FCM. The result of this combination is a very robust classification system. Rat brain MR images with stroke lesions are segmented. This system successfully identified the penumbra area of the rat brain.
