This paper deals with automatic brain tumor de-
tection in magnetic resonance images. The goal is to determine
whether the MR image of a brain contains a tumor. The proposed
method works with T2-weighted magnetic resonance images,
where the head is vertically aligned. The detection is based
on checking the left-right symmetry of the brain, which is the
assumption for healthy brain. The algorithm was tested by five-
fold cross-validation technique on 72 images of brain containing
tumors and 131 images of healthy brain. The proposed method
reaches the true positive rate of 91.16% and the true negative
rate of 94.68%.
