Abstract : This work presents clustering techniques for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) with recent programming language [R]. It presents many results using Fuzzy C-Mean (FCM) and silhoutte value. The results from FCM obtained by Anja Struyf. et. al., and silhouette method by Peter J. Rousseeuw. Mainly this paper develops a new effective Clustering Algorithm method to explore easily the MRI using FCM, silhouette method, and programming language [R] . The new clustering algorithmemploys to tissue segmentation, to differentiate CSF from white and grey matter, to track the brain tumor. for the new effective clustering algorithm, this work describes clustering programs, programs for converting image to data set in programming language [R], and also it incorporates the programs. The clustering program with FCM were designed to be robust and accept dissimilarity data as objects. To compare the images the clustering programming and image programming provide visual display. The important sides of program in [R], a new task introduces that the image converts into data matrices, FCM program analyze the data of image, and then the samples of data matrices have been separated according to the cluster after using clusting algorithm.
