Diagnosis & classification of brain hemorrhage

Brain Hemorrhage is a type of stroke, which occurs due to bursting of an artery in the brain, thus causing bleeding in the surrounding tissues. CT (Computed Tomography) images are used to diagnose bleeding and fractures in inner parts of the body. CT images are preferred over MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images due to wider availability, lower cost and sensitiveness to early stroke. These images are first preprocessed, performed morphological operations on and then segmented using watershed algorithm. This extracted image is given as an input to an artificial neural network for classification. It also gives information on the hemorrhage area and the hemorrhage percentage.
