The mainobjective of image segmentation is to extract variousfeatures of the image that are used foranalysing,interpretation and understanding of images.Medical Resonance Image plays a major role inMedical diagnostics. Image processing in MRI ofbrain is highlyessential due to accurate detection ofthe type of brain abnormality which can reduce thechance of fatal result. This paper outlines anefficient image segmentation technique that candistinguish the pathological tissues such asedemaandtumourfrom thenormal tissues such as WhiteMatter(WM),GreyMatter(GM), andCerebrospinal Fluid(CSF). Thresholding is simplerand most commonly used techniques in imagesegmentation. This technique can be used to detectthe contour of thetumourin brain. %K Abnormality %K accurate %K segmentation %K thresholding %K tissues %K tumour %U http://www.theaccents.org/ijacr/papers/conference/icacc2013/17.pdf
