Abstract

This work focuses on the application of image processing techniques to segment and analyze images of brain sections with the aim of facilitating early diagnosis of brain tumors. The aim is to delineate specific regions of the brain, such as the cranial, intracranial, and encephalic regions, for subsequent geometric analysis. The process involves image pre-processing, conversion to polar coordinates, determination of contour points, Fourier Series approximation, and the use of the Least Square Method to obtain accurate representations of the regions. The proposed approach was tested on Magnetic Resonance Images of three different brains, showing its capability to accurately delineating the targeted regions. The results highlight the potential of signal processing techniques for analyzing brain images and provide insights for further research in this area.
