A Review On Skull Stripping Techniques Of Brain MRI Images
Aashutosh Kharb , Prachi Chaudhary
Abstract
Skull stripping is the segmentation of the brain tissues from other tissues, such as the skin, fat, muscles, neck, eyeballs etc. The existence of non brain tissues considered as kull stripping in MRI is a critical step in pre-processing of brain images. For the investigation and treatment of brain injury and disease, segmentation of the newborn MRI brain is significant. Therefore, MRI brain frames require mathematical morphology analyses called skull stripping to isolate the brain from extracranial or non-brain structures. This article summarises the methods available for skull stripping and the recent literature on existing skull stripping procedures. There are still highly challenging fields through the research and analysis of brain images in areas generated with a new, robust and automated technique for stripping MRI skulls.
