•Adrenal tumors can be adherent to liver, spleen, spinal cord, kidney, and this situation prevents an accurate segmentation of adrenal tumors.•In addition, low contrast, non-standardized shape and size, homogeneity, and heterogeneity of the tumors are considered as problems in segmentation.•This study proposes a computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) system to segment adrenal tumors by eliminating the above problems.•The performance of the proposed method was assessed on 113 Magnetic Resonance (MR) images using seven statistical metrics.•As a result, an efficient framework is presented on segmentation of adrenal tumors for MR images, especially for cyst-based tumors. |
