Abstract
The use of magnetic resonance (MR) Image has become more significant when treating rectal cancer. Rectal cancer can be staged more accurately with MRI, which serves as a great tool for choosing the most suitable course of action. Image pre-processing is used to improve the quality of image and making it better for analysis and further processing. The study carried out in this paper is concentrated on pre-processing methods like Gaussian and Sobel filtering. The filtering techniques were implemented on Pelvic MR images obtained from Kasturba Medical College (KMC), Manipal. The findings suggest that Sobel filtering had a superior output image quality, indicating its potential as a preferred preprocessing technique for enhancing Pelvic MR images in rectal cancer diagnosis and treatment planning. The output image efficiency is calculated by Peak to Signal Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Mean Square Error (MSE).
