TLDR
The proposed improvement method, named improved spatial fuzzy c-means IFCMS, was evaluated on several test images including both synthetic images and simulated brain MRI images from the McConnell Brain Imaging Center (BrainWeb) database and demonstrates the efficiency of the ideas presented.

A review on brain tumor segmentation of MRI images.

TL;DR: Through the entire review process, it has been observed that the combination of Conditional Random Field (CRF) with Fully Convolutional Neural Network (FCNN) and CRF with DeepMedic or Ensemble are more effective for the segmentation of tumor from the brain MRI images.

Conditional spatial fuzzy C-means clustering algorithm for segmentation of MRI images

TL;DR: The experimental results show that the csFCM algorithm has superior performance in terms of qualitative and quantitative studies such as, cluster validity functions, segmentation accuracy, tissue segmentsation accuracy and receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve on the image segmentation results than the k-means, FCM and some other recently proposed FCM-based algorithms.

A possibilistic approach to clustering

TL;DR: An appropriate objective function whose minimum will characterize a good possibilistic partition of the data is constructed, and the membership and prototype update equations are derived from necessary conditions for minimization of the criterion function.
