Image segmentation of surgical images plays an important role in diagnosis and analysis the anatomical structure of human body. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) helps in obtaining a structural image of internal parts of the body. This paper aims at developing an automatic support system for stage classification using learning machine and to detect brain Tumor by fuzzy clustering methods to detect the brain Tumor in its early stages and to analyze anatomical structures. The three stages involved are: feature extraction using GLCM and the tumor classification using PNN-RBF network and segmentation using SFCM. Here fast discrete curvelet transformation is used to analyze texture of an image which be used as a base for a Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system .The Probabilistic Neural Network with radial basis function is employed to implement an automated Brain Tumor classification. It classifies the stage of Brain Tumor that is benign, malignant or normal automatically. Then the segmentation of the brain abnormality using Spatial FCM and the severity of the tumor is analysed using the number of tumor cells in the detected abnormal region.The proposed method reports promising results in terms of training performance and classification accuracies.
