Nowadays medical imaging is becoming one of the popular techniques used to monitor human body to diagnose diseases, detect and treat injuries so that it can be treated. It helps in fetching desired information from the medical images. Clustering techniques in medical imaging is used to assist image based analysis of heterogeneous ailments by creating clusters of given population into homogeneous sub populations which helps in better understanding of the disease within each sub population. In this paper, we have discussed and compared various clustering techniques such as Fuzzy C Means clustering (FCM), Spatial Fuzzy C Means clustering(SFCM), K-Means and Particle Swarm Optimization Incorporative Fuzzy C Means clustering (PSOFCM), Gustafson Kessel (GK) clustering and Density Based Clustering of Applications with Noise (DBSCAN) to detect a tumor in human brain based on various image segmentation parameters. Accuracy of these algorithms is tested using MRI brain image.

Fuzzy c-means clustering is a popular image segmentation technique, in which a single pixel belongs to multiple clusters, with varying degree of membership. The main drawback of this method is it sensitive to noise. This method can be improved by incorporating multiresolution stationary wavelet analysis. In this paper we develop a robust image segmentation method using Fuzzy c-means clustering and wavelet transform. The experimental result shows that the proposed method is more accurate than the Fuzzy c-means clustering.

Image segmentation is a technique which divides an image into its constituent regions or objects. Segmentation continues till we reach our area of interest or the specified object of target. This field offers vast future scope and challenges for the researchers. This proposal uses the fuzzy c mean technique to segment the different MRI brain tumor images. This proposal also shows the comparative results of Thresholding, K-means clustering and Fuzzy c- means clustering. Dice coefficient and Jaccards measure is used for accuracy of the segmentation in this proposal. Experimental results demonstrate the performance of the designed method.

This chapter presents a study of the development of the clustering methodology to data analysis, with particular attention to the analysis from a crisp environment to a fuzzy environment. An applied problem concerning service quality (using SERVQUAL) of mobile phone users, and subsequent loyalty and satisfaction forms the data set to demonstrate the clustering issue. Following details on both the crisp k-means and fuzzy c-means clustering techniques, comparable results from their analysis are shown, on a subset of data, to enable both graphical and statistical elucidation. Fuzzy c-means is then employed on the full SERVQUAL dimensions, and the established results interpreted before tested on external variables, namely the level of loyalty and satisfaction across the different clusters established.
