Abstract: This paper provides Regenerative Pixel Mode (RPM) and Tumour
Locus algorithm (TLA), an alternative technique for effective anti-aliased
extraction of complicated tumour locus. We developed this technology to
eliminate disadvantages of Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scan
technology where radioactive material proved as a risk for the patient. The
presented technology can be an alternative to PET scan processes and is very
cost-effective technique as compared to PET scan. RPM algorithm makes use
of the pixel sampling, sub-pixel filter mode to build a compressed, tumour
manifestation in each and every pixel through the elimination of impurities.
Along with RPM algorithm, TLA is further used for identification of tumour
locus by a sub-clustering method where the high-intensity region of the brain
tumour is extracted. Finally, RPM and TLA processing provide final results
which are undoubtedly visible for health practitioner reviews for pre and post
or even during surgical activities.
