Artificial neural network based fast edge detection algorithm for MRI medical images

Currently, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been utilized extensively to obtain high contrast medical image due to its safety which can be applied repetitively. Edges are represented as important contour features in the medical image since they are the boundaries where distinct intensity changes...
