Abstract

In this study, contours of a brain tumor on a single slice tomography image were derived by using image correlation technique. Four different methods were used to compare the validity of the derived contours. Contour map of the brain tumor was generated by using 2D image correlation technique with raw pixel, perceived brightness (luminance), optical density and Relative radiation dose data. The resultant contour maps were the same in all methods. They produced the digital data for any remote surgical device to remove the tumor area.
