A Study on CBIR for Brain Tumor Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract- Content based image retrieval is used for retrieving images from database by giving query. Content of an image can be expressed in terms of color, shape and texture. A study on CBIR for Brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is the research area in computer vision and image processing to diagnose and treat disease. MRI is used in radiology to interrogate, function of the body for analyzing health and identifying disease. MRI scanners hold strong magnetic field and radio waves to form images of the body. This research plans to spread the information of the Content Based Image Retrieval approach to the practical use of medical image and to differentiate between the normal and abnormal images based on a distinctive attribute. In this paper, we will focus on using CBIR, brain MRI from large medical databases, notify the problems specific to this area and describe the recent advances in the field.
