Abstract Augmentation of abnormal cells in the brain causes brain tumor (BT), and early screening and treatment will reduce its harshness in patients. BT’s clinical level screening is usually performed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) due to its multi-modality nature. The overall aims of the study is to introduce, test and verify an advanced image processing technique with algorithms to automatically extract tumour sections from brain MRI scans, facilitating improved accuracy. The research intends to devise a reliable framework for detecting the BT region in the two-dimensional (2D) MRI slice, and identifying its class with improved… More >

Abstract This research work develops new and better prognostic markers for predicting Childhood MedulloBlastoma (CMB) using a well-defined deep learning architecture. A deep learning architecture could be designed using ideas from image processing and neural networks to predict CMB using histopathological images. First, a convolution process transforms the histopathological image into deep features that uniquely describe it using different two-dimensional filters of various sizes. A 10-layer deep learning architecture is designed to extract deep features. The introduction of pooling layers in the architecture reduces the feature dimension. The extracted and dimension-reduced deep features from the arrangement More >

Abstract The brain tumour is the mass where some tissues become old or damaged, but they do not die or not leave their space. Mainly brain tumour masses occur due to malignant masses. These tissues must die so that new tissues are allowed to be born and take their place. Tumour segmentation is a complex and time-taking problem due to the tumour’s size, shape, and appearance variation. Manually finding such masses in the brain by analyzing Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is a crucial task for experts and radiologists. Radiologists could not work for large volume images… More >

Abstract Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an essential tool for detecting brain tumours. However, identification of brain tumours in the early stages is a very complex task since MRI images are susceptible to noise and other environmental obstructions. In order to overcome these problems, a Gamma MAP denoised Strömberg wavelet segmentation based on a maximum entropy classifier (GMDSWS-MEC) model is developed for efficient tumour detection with high accuracy and low time consumption. The GMDSWS-MEC model performs three steps, namely pre-processing, segmentation, and classification. Within the GMDSWS-MEC model, the Gamma MAP filter performs the pre-processing task and… More >

Abstract In recent years, the development in the field of computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) has increased rapidly. Many traditional machine learning algorithms have been proposed for identifying the pathological brain using magnetic resonance images. The existing algorithms have drawbacks with respect to their accuracy, efficiency, and limited learning processes. To address these issues, we propose a pathological brain tumour detection method that utilizes the Weiner filter to improve the image contrast, 2D- discrete wavelet transformation (2D-DWT) to extract the features, probabilistic principal component analysis (PPCA) and linear discriminant analysis (LDA) to normalize and reduce the features, and More >
