Abstract
MRI is the most frequently used imaging technique to detect brain tumor. The brain is composed of nerve cells and supportive tissues such as glial cells and meninges. A brain tumor is a collection, or mass, of the brain in abnormal cells. Primary brain tumors can be either malignant or benign. A primary brain tumor is a tumor located in the brain tissue. New technologies in supplement to existing imaging modalities improve brain tumor screening. Most brain tumor databases are not publicly available. BRAMSIT is a resource for possible use by the MRI image analysis research community. The projected MRI database is a termed BRAMSIT, characterized by an attempt to offer a group of normal and malignant brain tumor images. The details such as age, and the MRI axial position (i.e., trans-axial, coronal and sagittal) of the patient are interpreted in the database.
