Abstract :
In this study, the fuzzy logic methods have been used to segment the tissues affected by multiple sclerosis (MS) in magnetic resonance images. The fuzzy inference method has been applied in order to enhance images for a better MS segmentation and to segment white matter. Also, the fuzzy clustering method has been used to segment MS plagues from the enhanced image.
