摘要：Brain portion extraction from magnetic resonance image (MRI) of human head scan is an importantprocess in medical image analysis. In this paper, we propose a computationally simple and a robust brainsegmentation method. This method is based on forming a contour using the intensity values that satisfy aset property and detect the boundary of the brain. After detecting the brain boundary the brain portion issegmented. Experiments were conducted by applying the method on 3 volumes of T1 MRI data set collectedfrom Internet Brain Segmentation Repository(IBSR) and compared the results with that of the popularskull stripping method Brain Extraction Tool (BET). The experimental results show that the proposedalgorithm gives better results than that of BET.
