Background: Variations of image segmentation techniques, particularly those used for Brain MRI segmentation, vary in complexity from basic standard Fuzzy C-means (FCM) to more complex and enhanced FCM techniques. Objective: In this paper, a comprehensive review is presented on all thirteen variations of FCM segmentation techniques. In the review process, the concentration is on the use of FCM segmentation techniques for brain tumors. Brain tumor segmentation is a vital step in the process of automatically diagnosing brain tumors. Unlike segmentation of other types of images, brain tumor segmentation is a very challenging task due to the variations in brain anatomy. The low contrast of brain images further complicates this process. Early diagnosis of brain tumors is indeed beneficial to patients, doctors, and medical providers. Results: FCM segmentation works on images obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, requiring minor modifications to hospital operations to early diagnose tumors as most, if not all, hospitals rely on MRI machines for brain imaging. In this paper, we critically review and summarize FCM based techniques for brain MRI segmentation.

Image segmentation is a technique which divides an image into its constituent regions or objects. Segmentation continues till we reach our area of interest or the specified object of target. This field offers vast future scope and challenges for the researchers. This proposal uses the fuzzy c mean technique to segment the different MRI brain tumor images. This proposal also shows the comparative results of Thresholding, K-means clustering and Fuzzy c- means clustering. Dice coefficient and Jaccards measure is used for accuracy of the segmentation in this proposal. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the designed method.

The brain tumor segmentation from image is interesting and challenging in the field of image processing and pattern recognition. An early detection of a brain tumor region helps the patient to take the correct medicine and increase the rate of the survival.The brain tumor segmentation is a process of differentiating the abnormal tissues and normal tissues. most common types of brain tumors are Benign and Malignant tumors. In this paper, the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) approach is used to cluster the abnormal cells region and normal cells region in the brain image. The possible noises are removed by employing the median filter and morphological function is applied to extract the possible tumor region. The true tumor region is extracted with the help of symbolic features. Finally, the proposed methods is tested on T2- weighted MR brain images
