摘要
This paper presents a new algorithm for fuzzy segmentation of MR brain images. Starting from the standard FCM [1] and its bias-corrected version BCFCM [2] algorithm, by splitting up the two major steps of the latter, and by introducing a new factor gamma, the amount of required calculations is considerably reduced. The algorithm provides good-quality segmented brain images a very quick way, which makes it an excellent tool to support virtual brain endoscopy. This research has been supported by the Hungarian National Research Fund, Grants No. OTKA T042990 and T029830.
