The segmentation performance is topic to suitable initialization and best configuration of supervisory parameters. In medical image segmentation, the segmentation is very important when the diagnosing becomes very hard in medical images which are not properly illuminated. This paper proposes segmentation of brain tumour image of MRI images based on spatial fuzzy clustering and level set algorithm. After performance evaluation of the proposed algorithm was carried on brain tumour images, the results showed confirm its effectiveness for medical image segmentation, where the brain tumour is detected properly.

Level set methods are a kind of general numerical analysis tools that are specialized for describing and controlling implicit interface dynamically. It receives widespread attention in medical image computing and analysis. There have been a lot of level set models designed and regularized for medical image segmentation. For the sake of simplicity and clarity, we merely concentrate on our recent works of regularizing level set methods with fuzzy clustering in this paper. It covers two most famous level set models, namely Hamilton-Jacobi functional and Mumford-Shah functional, for variational segmentation and region competition respectively. The strategies of fuzzy regularization are elaborated in detail and their applications in medical image segmentation are demonstrated with examples.

In the medical image resolution, automatic segmentation is a challenging task, and it's still an unsolved problem for most medical applications due to the wide variety connected with image modalities, encoding parameters, and organic variability. In this chapter, a review and critique of medical image segmentation using clustering, compression, histogram, edge detection, parametric, variational model. and level set-based methods is presented. Modes of segmentation like manual, semi-automatic, interactive, and automatic are also discussed. To present current challenges, aim and motivation for doing fast, interactive and correct segmentation, the medical image modalities X-ray, CT, MRI, and PET are discussed in this chapter.
