Abstract

A tumor is a swelling that occurs due to the abnormal growth and division of cells. Brain tumors represent a real challenge to humanity because they threaten a person’s life if they are not treated in a timely and appropriate manner. Several methods of diagnosis and treatment, such as surgical intervention, may involve side medical problems. MRI is used for detection and diagnosis. Accurate diagnosis requires expertise from experts, which may not always be available. Diagnosis is done using software methods to help detect and locate tumors. In this research, a method for detecting brain tumors using relatively simple software methods is presented, where the presence of the disease is detected and its location is accurately determined. The proposed method is based on receiving the image, enhancing it, and extracting the features after segmentation to determine the final summary. The quality of the system is evaluated by calculating key parameters and comparing them with previous works.
