Image processing is an active research area in which medical image processing is a highly challenging field. Medical imaging
techniques are used to image the inner portions of the human body for medical diagnosis. Brain tumor is a serious life altering
disease condition. Image segmentation plays a significant role in image processing as it helps in the extraction of suspicious regions
from the medical images. In this paper we have proposed segmentation of brain MRI image using K-means clustering algorithm
followed by morphological filtering which avoids the misclustered regions that can inevitably be formed after segmentation of the brain MRI image for detection of tumor location.

Editor's Notes
#3: Brain, the important part of our body which is located on the most anterior to central nerves system. Brain tumor widely diagnosed and main problem among population of the world. Tumor the abnormal and uncontrolled growth and cell division in brain which like solid form.
#6: They are usually stored in the format calledDICOM. The extension of the file is .dcm.DICOMstands forDigital Imaging and Communications in Medicine.The forumNational Electrical Manufacturers Association, NEMAholds the copyright to this standard.As a further info, MATLAB containsdicomreadas a function to read DICOM images.The data type isuint16,it needs to be converted todoublefor basic operations.
