This paper puts forth a framework of a medical image analysis system for brain tumor segmentation.Image segmentation helps to segregate objects right from the background, thus proving to be a powerful tool in medical image processing.This paper presents an improved segmentation algorithm rooted in support vector machine (SVM) and genetic algorithm.
