The proposed work introduces a modified method of fuzzy c means (FCM) algorithm using bias field correction and partial supervision techniques. The proposed method is named as bias corrected partial supervision FCM (BCPSFCM). The modified membership function takes the advantage of available knowledge from labeled patterns with the bias field correction. The experiment is tested on internet brain segmentation repository with their gold standard. The performance of the method is compared with three existing methods and 12 state of the art methods using dice coefficient, sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy. Accuracy of the proposed method reached upto 98%, 98%, and 99% of GM, WM, and CSF segmentation but required additional computation power from graphics processing unit (GPU). Further parallel BCPSFCM is proposed with the help of compute unified device architecture enabled GPU machine and the processing time is reduced up to 49 times than the serial implementation.
