This work proposes two fast algorithms for the automatic skull stripping and mid-sagittal plane extraction in neurologic CT images. The main features of the skull stripping algorithm here presented are the simplicity and robustness. It is simple since neither pre-processing of the image data nor contour refinement is required. This algorithm creates an image mask of the brain that limits processing to only those pixels contained by the mask. Based on the resulting mask, the second algorithm, extracts the MSP by detecting the longitudinal fissure.
