Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) segmentation has been implemented by many clustering techniques, such as k-means, fuzzy c-means (FCM), learning-vector quantization (LVQ) and fuzzy algorithms for LVQ (FALVQ). Although these algorithms have been successful in applying MRI segmentation, obtaining the...
