Abstract: Medical image segmentation results in the multiple fractioning of an input image for a deeper analysis/insight. Localization of objects and detection of boundaries are the core-theme of using segmentation for medical images. It elucidates the process of finding the anatomic structures in medical images. In this paper, we put forth a technique that has Fuzzy C-Means clustering and Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) Optimization has delivered the segmentation of MRA brain image. Artificial Bee Colony (ABC) has been used by many researchers as it is a population-based stochastic approach that has better search-inspace abilities for various optimization problems. The unsupervised clustering FCM has produced candidate outcomes in medical image processing. FCM is mostly preferable for segmenting the soft tissues in brain model, and it provides better output when compared to some of the competitive clustering techniques like KM, EM and KNN. The output of the suggested techniques is verified by using real MRA brain images. The results of Statistical parameters show that our method is notably better compared to other algorithms.
