Automated Brain Tumor Detection from MRI Scans using Deep Convolutional Neural Networks

The brain, as the central nervous system's most critical part, can develop abnormal growths of cells known as tumors. Cancer is the term used to describe malignant tumors. Medical imaging modalities, such as computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), are commonly used to detect cancerous regions in the brain. Other techniques, such as positron emission tomography (PET), cerebral arteriography, lumbar puncture, and molecular testing, are also utilized for brain tumor detection. MRI scans provide detailed information concerning delicate tissue, which aids in diagnosing brain tumors. MRI scan images are analyzed to assess the disease condition objectively. The proposed system aims to identify abnormal brain images from MRI scans accurately. The segmented mask can estimate the tumor's density, which is helpful in therapy. Deep learning techniques are employed to automatically extract features and detect abnormalities from MRI images. The proposed system utilizes a convolutional neural network (CNN), a popular deep learning technique, to analyze MRI images and identify abnormal brain scans with high accuracy. The system's training process involves feeding the CNN with large datasets of normal and abnormal MRI images to learn how to differentiate between the two. During testing, the system classifies MRI images as either normal or abnormal based on the learned features. The system's ability to accurately identify abnormal brain scans can aid medical practitioners in making informed decisions and providing better patient care. Additionally, the system's ability to estimate tumor density from the segmented mask provides additional information to guide therapy. The proposed system offers a promising solution for improving the accuracy and efficiency of brain tumor detection from MRI images, which is critical for early detection and treatment

Empirical Study of MRI Brain Tumor Edge Detection Algorithms

A brain tumor refers to the abnormal growth of cells that can be found in the brain or the skull. MRI is a type of advanced medical imaging that provides detailed information about the anatomy of the human soft tissues. Medical experts perform tumor segmentation using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data, which is an essential part of cancer diagnosis and treatment. Tumor detection refers to the methods that are used to diagnose cancer or other types of diseases. Edge detection is also one of the common methods that come under the process of treating medical images. The main objective of edge detection is discovering information about the shapes, transmission, and reflection of images. In this paper, we investigated the performance comparison MRI brain tumor edge detection Algorithms. The Canny, and Prewitt are used for investigation. As result, Canny edge detection is better than Prewitt in term of clarity and visibility for the tumor

Automated Brain Abnormality Detection through MR Images

Brain diseases one of the major cause of cancer-related death among children and adults in the world. Brain diseases like brain tumor is characterized as a gathering of abnormal cells that becomes inside the brain and around the brain.There are various imaging techniques which are used for brain tumor detection. Among all imaging technique, MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is widely used for the brain tumor detection. MRI is safe, fast and non-invasive imaging technique. The early detection of brain diseases is very important, for that CAD (Computer-aided-diagnosis) systems are used. The proposed scheme develops a new CAD system in which pulse-coupled neural network is used for the brain tumor segmentation from MRI images. After segmentation, for feature extraction the Discrete Wavelet Transform and Curvelet Transform are employed separately. Subsequently, both PCA (Principal Component Analysis) and LDA (Linear Discriminant Analysis) have been applied individually for feature reduction. A standard dataset of 101 brain MRI images (14 normal and 87 abnormal) is utilized to validate the proposed scheme. The experimental results show that the suggested scheme achieves better result than the state-of-the-art techniques with a very less number of features

A Two-Tier Framework Based on GoogLeNet and YOLOv3 Models for Tumor Detection in MRI

Medical Image Analysis (MIA) is one of the active research areas in computer vision, where brain tumor detection is the most investigated domain among researchers due to its deadly nature. Brain tumor detection in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) assists radiologists for better analysis about the exact size and location of the tumor. However, the existing systems may not efficiently classify the human brain tumors with significantly higher accuracies. In addition, smart and easily implementable approaches are unavailable in 2D and 3D medical images, which is the main problem in detecting the tumor. In this paper, we investigate various deep learning models for the detection and localization of the tumor in MRI. A novel two-tier framework is proposed where the first tire classifies normal and tumor MRI followed by tumor regions localization in the second tire. Furthermore, in this paper, we introduce a well-annotated dataset comprised of tumor and normal images. The experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed framework by achieving 97% accuracy using GoogLeNet on the proposed dataset for classification and 83% for localization tasks after fine-tuning the pre-trained you only look once (YOLO) v3 model

The process of accurate detection of edges of MRI images of a brain is always a challenging but interesting problem. Accurate detection is very important and critical for the generation of correct diagnosis. The major problem that comes across while analyzing MRI images of a brain is inaccurate data. The process of segmentation of brain MRI image involves the problem of searching anatomical regions of interest, which can help radiologists to extract shapes, appearance, and other structural features for diagnosis of diseases or treatment evaluation. The brain image segmentation is composed of many stages. During the last few years, preprocessing algorithms, techniques, and operators have emerged as a powerful tool for efficient extraction of regions of interest, performing basic algebraic operations on images, enhancing specific image features, and reducing data on both resolution and brightness. Edge detection is one of the techniques of image segmentation. Here from image segmentation, tumor is located. Finally, we try to retrieve tumor from MRI image of a brain in the form of edge more accurately and efficiently, by enhancing the performance of diffe rent kinds of edge detectors using fuzzy approach

Abstract— Brain tumor extraction and analysis of it are challenging tasks in medical image processing by the use of Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) because brain image and its structure is complicated that can be analyzed only by expert radiologists. Normally, to produce images of soft tissue of human body, MRI images are used by experts. It is used for analysis of human organs to replace surgery. A tumor may lead to cancer, which is a major leading cause of death and responsible for around 13% of all deaths world-wide. Magnetic Resonance images are used to find the presence of brain tumor in brain. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an imaging technique that has played an important role in neuro science research for studying brain images. In this paper we propose an automatic brain tumor detection that can detect and localize brain tumor in magnetic resonance imaging. The proposed method work in follows manner: Firstly we extract the feature of an image and then classifies it. First stage is used to extract the features from images using Grey level Co-occurrence matrix. In the second step the features which are extracted are used as input for Support Vector machine (SVM).
