The brain is an vital part of the human body and helps to regulate all of a person's actions. It involves a huge number of activities such as thinking, reactions, feelings, memories, etc. Any brain disorder can have an impact on all aspects of human function. Tumors, strokes, and infections are examples of major brain diseases. If a brain tumour is not treated at an early stage, it is one of the deadliest illnesses. In this study, contour angular sections and FCM (Fuzzy C-Means) optimization were proposed as a precise method for segmenting MRI (Magnetic Resonance Image) brain tumours. With the use of a common MRI imaging technique, the tumour and non-tumor areas may be distinguished with ease. First-stage morphological reconstruction employs erosion, whereas second-stage morphological reconstruction employs dilation. An area is chosen for FCM optimization utilising the radius contraction and expansion method after the background reduction.
RCE (Radius Contraction and Expansion) provides the first selection of the region's and centroid's maximum radii by eliminating background noise. In magnetic resonance imaging(MRI), the contour angular sectioning (CAS) approach is employed to determine the RCE of tumours. It is challenging to segment brain tumours, hence the CAS optimization approach is recommended. The CAS optimization approach is encouraged for the difficult assignment of segmenting brain tumours. The contour is greater than the tumour region however almost the equal size as the tumor's region. A new estimate is made of the new contour’s centroid region, which acts as one of the angular region's vertices. The contour's size is larger than the tumour region's size but around the same size as the tumor's shape. The new angular region that is eliminated clockwise is applied to FCM once again. This procedure is repeated until the development of an angular region, at which point one cycle of FCM optimization is complete. The usefulness of contour angular part and the utilization of MRI brain
tumour segmentation was once formerly evaluated via the use of the T1-weighted distinction in large image datasets, the usage of matrices like Dice Score (DS), Sensitivity, Specificity, Harsdorf Distance (HD), and probabilistic Rand Index (PRI). . The experimental outcomes exhibit that the contour angular part strategy works better than the most superior MRI brain tumour segmentation technique.
