Result after Region growing. After FCM clustering, some image may be too fragmenting to be properly classified (upper left and lower left). In this occasion, a seed area is selected within the image (upper middle and lower middle), and after pixel aggregation, these fragment could grow into more meaningful image. The upper row image now could be identified as tumor-containing image, where as the lower row image will be classified as background, and be readily processed at later stage.
