Abstract
Abstract: Recent developments on medical imaging techniques have brought a completely new research field on image processing. The principal aim is to improve medical diagnosis through segmented images. Techniques have been developed to help for identifying specific structures within a magnetic resonance image: MRI. The Active Contour methods, these methods are adaptable to the desired features in the image. In our work, we describe two classes of active contour models and discussing application aspects in medical imaging area
