Ant Colony Optimization (ACO) based Improved Edge Detection Algorithm for Segmentation of Brain Tumor

Abstract

Uncontrolled as well as abnormal division of cells in brain creates brain tumor. Recovery from tumor depends on accurate detection as most patients delay recovery due to absence of early diagnosis. Benign as well as malignant tumors are tumor types available. Compared to benign tumor, malignant ones are harmful as they grow faster while the former grows slow as well as also less harmful.
