摘要
A new method of MRI brain segmentation integrates fuzzy c-means （FCM） clustering and rough set theory. In this paper, we use rough set algorithm to find the suitable initial clustering number to initial clustering centers for FCM. Then we use FCM to MRI brain segmentation, but the algorithm of FCM has the limitation of converging to local infinitesimal point in medical segmentation. While avoiding being trapped in a local optimum, we use the particle swarm optimization algorithm to restrict convergence of FCM which can reduce calculation. The final experiment results show that improved algorithm not only retains the advantages of rapid convergence but also can control the local convergence and improve the global search ability. The method in this paper is better than that of cluttering performance.
