Abstract

Automatic image segmentation has a greater significance in medical imaging. Accurate segmentation poses a serious challenge in medical diagnosis. Manual detection and analysis of region of interest from medical images may lead to false positives thereby making the patient diagnosis difficult. This paper focuses on the segmentation techniques in medical imaging. This paper investigates different approaches and issues in automatic image segmentation in various types of medical images and comparative analysis is carried out.
