There are many medical imaging modalities used for the analysis and cure of various diseases. One of the most important of these modalities is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). MRI is advantageous over other modalities due to its high spatial resolution and the excellent capability of discrimination of soft tissues. In this paper, an automated classification approach of normal and pathological MRI is proposed. The proposed model three simple stages; preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. Two types of features; color moments and texture features have been considered as main features for the description of brain MRI. A probabilistic classifier based on logistic function has been used for the MRI classification. A standard data set consisting of one hundred and fifty images has been used in the experiments, which was divided into 66% training and 34% testing. The proposed approach gave 98% accurate results for training data set and 94% accurate results for the testing data set. For validation of the proposed approach, 10-Fold cross validation was applied, which gave 90.66% accurate results. The classification capability of probabilistic classifier has been compared with the different state of art classifiers, including Support Vector Machine (SVM), Naïve Bayes, Artificial Neural Network (ANN), and Normal densities based linear classifier.
