Brain tumor is the growth of abnormal cells in brain some of which may leads to cancer. The usual method to detect brain tumor is Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) scans.

A brain tumor is a growth of abnormal cells that has formed in the brain. Some brain tumors are cancerous (malignant), while others are not (non-malignant). Most Research in developed countries show that the number of people who have brain tumors were died due to the fact of inaccurate detection. Generally, CT scan or MRI that is directed into intracranial cavity produces a complete image of brain. This image is visually examined by the physician for detection & diagnosis of brain tumor. However this method of detection resists the accurate determination of stage & size of tumor. In recent times, the introduction of information technology and e-health care system in the medical field helps clinical experts to provide better health care to the patient. This study addresses the problems of segmentation of abnormal brain tissues and normal tissues such as gray matter (GM), white matter (WM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from magnetic resonance (MR) images. Firstly, brain tumor is detected using the MRI scan further biomarkers are used for further treatment.
