Abstract With technological advancements, deep machine learning can assist doctors in identifying the brain mass or tumor using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This work extracts the deep features from 18-pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) to train the classical classifiers to categorize the brain MRI images. As a result, DenseNet-201, EfficientNet-b0, and DarkNet-53 deep features trained support vector machine (SVM) model shows the best accuracy. Furthermore, the ReliefF method is applied to extract the best features. Then, the fitness function is defined to select the number of nearest neighbors of ReliefF algorithm and feature vector size. Finally, the particle swarm optimization algorithm… More >

Abstract Brain tumor is considered as an unusual cell that presents and grows in the brain. Similarly, it may lead to cancerous or non-cancerous. So, to improve the survival rate of the patient and to give the best treatment at the earliest, it’s very necessary for early prediction of tumor. Accurate classification of tumor in the brain is important for improving the diagnosis. In accordance with that, various research programs are invited for the better treatment of the patients. Machine Learning (ML) algorithms are applied to help the health associates for the classification of brain tumor and present their diagnosis. This… More >

Abstract Brain tumor is one of the most common tumors with high mortality. Early detection is of great significance for the treatment and rehabilitation of patients. The single channel convolution layer and pool layer of traditional convolutional neural network (CNN) structure can only accept limited local context information. And most of the current methods only focus on the classification of benign and malignant brain tumors, multi classification of brain tumors is not common. In response to these shortcomings, considering that convolution kernels of different sizes can extract more comprehensive features, we put forward the multi-size convolutional kernel module. And considering that… More >

Abstract Owing to technological developments, Medical image analysis has received considerable attention in the rapid detection and classification of diseases. The brain is an essential organ in humans. Brain tumors cause loss of memory, vision, and name. In 2020, approximately 18,020 deaths occurred due to brain tumors. These cases can be minimized if a brain tumor is diagnosed at a very early stage. Computer vision researchers have introduced several techniques for brain tumor detection and classification. However, owing to many factors, this is still a challenging task. These challenges relate to the tumor size, the shape of a tumor, location of… More >

Abstract Background: A brain tumor reflects abnormal cell growth. Challenges: Surgery, radiation therapy, and chemotherapy are used to treat brain tumors, but these procedures are painful and costly. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a non-invasive modality for diagnosing tumors, but scans must be interpretated by an expert radiologist. Methodology: We used deep learning and improved particle swarm optimization (IPSO) to automate brain tumor classification. MRI scan contrast is enhanced by ant colony optimization (ACO); the scans are then used to further train a pretrained deep learning model, via transfer learning (TL), and to extract features from two dense layers. We fused… More >

Abstract Brain tumors are life-threatening for adults and children. However, accurate and timely detection can save lives. This study focuses on three different types of brain tumors: Glioma, meningioma, and pituitary tumors. Many studies describe the analysis and classification of brain tumors, but few have looked at the problem of feature engineering. Methods are needed to overcome the drawbacks of manual diagnosis and conventional feature-engineering techniques. An automatic diagnostic system is thus necessary to extract features and classify brain tumors accurately. While progress continues to be made, the automatic diagnoses of brain tumors still face challenges of low accuracy and high… More >

Abstract A new method for the denoising, extraction and tumor detection on MRI images is presented in this paper. MRI images help physicians study and diagnose diseases or tumors present in the brain. This work is focused towards helping the radiologist and physician to have a second opinion on the diagnosis. The ambiguity of Magnetic Resonance (MR) image features is solved in a simpler manner. The MRI image acquired from the machine is subjected to analysis in the work. The real-time data is used for the analysis. Basic preprocessing is performed using various filters for noise removal. The de-noised image is… More >
