In the field of medical image processing, detection of brain tumor from magnetic resonance image (MRI) brain scan has become one of the most active research. Detection of the tumor is the main objective of the system. Detection plays a critical role in biomedical imaging. In this paper, MRI brain image is used to tumor detection process. This system includes test the brain image process, image filtering, skull stripping, segmentation, morphological operation, calculation of the tumor area and determination of the tumor location. In this system, morphological operation of erosion algorithm is applied to detect the tumor. The detailed procedures are implemented using MATLAB. The proposed method extracts the tumor region accurately from the MRI brain image. The experimental results indicate that the proposed method efficiently detected the tumor region from the brain image. And then, the equation of the tumor region in this system is effectively applied in any shape of the tumor region.
