Abstract Gliomas are the most aggressive brain tumors caused by the abnormal growth of brain tissues. The life expectancy of patients diagnosed with gliomas decreases exponentially. Most gliomas are diagnosed in later stages, resulting in imminent death. On average, patients do not survive 14 months after diagnosis. The only way to minimize the impact of this inevitable disease is through early diagnosis. The Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans, because of their better tissue contrast, are most frequently used to assess the brain tissues. The manual classification of MRI scans takes a reasonable amount of time to classify brain tumors. Besides this,… More >

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 Due to the difficulties of brain tumor segmentation, this paper proposes a strategy for extracting brain tumors from three-dimensional Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) and Computed Tomography (CT) scans utilizing 3D U-Net Design and ResNet50, taken after by conventional classification strategies. In this inquire, the ResNet50 picked up accuracy with 98.96%, and the 3D U-Net scored 97.99% among the different methods of deep learning. It is to be mentioned that traditional Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) gives 97.90% accuracy on top of the 3D MRI. In expansion, the image fusion approach combines the multimodal images and makes a fused image to extricate… More >

Abstract Astrocytoma IV or glioblastoma is one of the fatal and dangerous types of brain tumors. Early detection of brain tumor increases the survival rate and helps in reducing the fatality rate. Various imaging modalities have been used for diagnosing by expert radiologists, and Medical Resonance Image (MRI) is considered a better option for detecting brain tumors as MRI is a non-invasive technique and provides better visualization of the brain region. One of the challenging issues is to identify the tumorous region from the MRI scans correctly. Manual segmentation is performed by medical experts, which is a time-consuming task and got… 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 The 2021 World Health Organization (WHO) Classification of Tumors of the Central Nervous System (CNS) improved our understanding of the brain neoplasm biology. In more details, differences between diffuse gliomas that primarily occur in adults and those that primarily occur in children have been identified by the terms “adult-type” and “pediatric-type” diffuse gliomas. More importantly, both diagnostic and grading criteria for adult-type diffuse astrocytomas have been modified, by adopting novel molecular markers: diffuse astrocytomas, IDH-mutant have been grouped into a single entity and graded as CNS WHO grades 2, 3, or 4, with the assignment of Grade 4 in the… More >

Abstract Uncontrollable growth of cells may lead to brain tumors and may cause permanent damages to the brain or even death. To make early diagnosis and treatment, identifying the position and size of tumors is identified as a tedious and troublesome problem among the existing computer-aided diagnosis systems. Moreover, the progression of tumors may vary among the patients with respect to shape, location, and volume. Therefore, to effectively classify and diagnose the brain tumor images according to severity stages follows the sequence of processing such as pre-processing, segmentation, feature extraction, and classification techniques to carrying out the appropriate treatment. To enhance… More >

Abstract Brain tumors are considered as most fatal cancers. To reduce the risk of death, early identification of the disease is required. One of the best available methods to evaluate brain tumors is Magnetic resonance Images (MRI). Brain tumor detection and segmentation are tough as brain tumors may vary in size, shape, and location. That makes manual detection of brain tumors by exploring MRI a tedious job for radiologists and doctors’. So an automated brain tumor detection and segmentation is required. This work suggests a Region-based Convolution Neural Network (RCNN) approach for automated brain tumor identification and segmentation using MR images,… More >

Abstract Brain cancer is the premier reason for cancer deaths all over the world. The diagnosis of brain cancer at an initial stage is mediocre, as the radiologist is ineffectual. Different experiments have been conducted and demonstrated clearly that the algorithms for nodule segmentation are unsuccessful. Therefore, the research has consolidated incremental clustering focused on superpixel segmentation as an appropriate optimization approach for the accurate segmentation of pulmonary nodules. The key aim of the research is to refine brain CT images to accurately distinguish tumors and the segmentation of small-scale anomalous nodules in the brain region. In the beginning stage, an… More >
