To provide a better approach for the brain segmentation of an MRI image.SOLUTION: In a computer-implemented method, a cluster-based approach and a template-based approach are combined for segmenting a brain substance from a three-dimensional MRI image of a voxel, form information captured with the template-based approach can be used for improving the segmentation generated with the cluster-based approach, on the other hand, 'similarity' information captured with the cluster-based approach can be used for improving the segmentation generated with the template-based approach.SELECTED DRAWING: Figure 1D
