Abstract

Segmentation is one of the most important and widely used methods in medical image analysis. It is considered to be a high level image processing technique and can be used for many applications in medical imaging. CT images are commonly used in medical field and it provides clear picture of the internal organs. However in some places further processing of CT images are required for disease diagnosis and lesion detection. This work is an effort for bringing out clinical information from liver images of computed tomography based on image processing. Finally liver tumor classifications have been performed using texture based image analysis.
