In recent decades, medical imaging has emerged as a vital field in medicine, playing a crucial role in diagnosis. Computer Assisted Diagnosis (CAD) systems have become instrumental in this arena, employing sophisticated algorithms to extract crucial information from medical images. This study presents an innovative brain cancer detection system utilizing statistical classification methods. The approach involves three key stages: firstly, the identification of regions of interest through Gradient Vector Flow (GVF) Snake models and mathematical morphology techniques; secondly, the characterization of these regions using morphological and textural parameters; and finally, employing this characterization as inputs for a Bayesian network to classify malignant and benign cancer cases. Experimental validation of the proposed approach yielded impressive results, including a 100% sensitivity rate and a classification accuracy exceeding 98% for tumor segmentation. These findings underscore the high efficacy of the proposed CAD system, showcasing its potential in enhancing cancer diagnosis and patient care.
