An unsupervised learning method with a clustering approach for tumor identification and tissue segmentation in magnetic resonance brain images

•Novel SOM based FKM algorithm for tissue segmentation and tumor identification in magnetic resonance brain images (T1-w, T2-w, FLAIR and MPR sequences) is proposed through this work.•Exact demarcation between tumor and edema region is characterized.•Validation of the segmented results by an experie...
