Abstract: Complexity of medical imagery is found as challenging problem in segmentation. This paper conducts a comparative study of Adaptive Network-Based Fuzzy Inference System (ANFIS), k-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) and Fuzzy c-Means (FCM) for brain abnormalities segmentation. The characteristics for each brain component of "membrane", "ventricles", "light abnormality" and "dark abnormality" is analyzed by extracting the minimum, maximum and mean grey level pixel values. The segmentation performances of each technique is tested to hundred and fifty controlled testing data which designed by cutting various shapes and size of various abnormalities and pasting it onto normal brain tissues. The tissues are divided into three categories of "low", "medium" and "high" based on the grey level pixel value intensities. The segmentation of light abnormalities outperformed the dark abnormalities. It was proven that the ANFIS returns the best segmentation performances in light abnormalitie!
s, whereas the k-NN conversely presented well in dark abnormalities segmentation.
