A novel hybrid approach for the identification of brain regions using magnetic resonance images accountable for brain tumor is presented in this paper. Classification of medical images is substantial in both clinical and research areas. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) modality outperforms towards diagnosing brain abnormalities like brain tumor, multiple sclerosis, hemorrhage, and many more. The primary objective of this work is to propose a three-dimensional (3D) novel brain tumor classification model using MRI images with both micro- and macroscale textures designed to differentiate the MRI of brain under two classes of lesion, benign and malignant. The design approach was initially preprocessed using 3D Gaussian filter. Based on VOI (volume of interest) of the image, features were extracted using 3D volumetric Square Centroid Lines Gray Level Distribution Method (SCLGM) along with 3D run length and cooccurrence matrix. The optimal features are selected using the proposed refined gravitational search algorithm (RGSA). Support vector machines, over backpropagation network, andk-nearest neighbor are used to evaluate the goodness of classifier approach. The preliminary evaluation of the system is performed using 320 real-time brain MRI images. The system is trained and tested by using a leave-one-case-out method. The performance of the classifier is tested using the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.986 (±002). The experimental results demonstrate the systematic and efficient feature extraction and feature selection algorithm to the performance of state-of-the-art feature classification methods.

Tumor Type

Manual tumor diagnosis from magnetic resonance images (MRIs) is a time-consuming procedure that may lead to human errors and may lead to false detection and classification of the tumor type. Therefore, to automatize the complex medical processes, a deep learning framework is proposed for brain tumor classification to ease the task of doctors for medical diagnosis. Publicly available datasets such as Kaggle and Brats are used for the analysis of brain images. The proposed model is implemented on three pre-trained Deep Convolution Neural Network architectures (DCNN) such as AlexNet, VGG16, and ResNet50. These architectures are the transfer learning methods used to extract the features from the pre-trained DCNN architecture, and the extracted features are classified by using the Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. Data augmentation methods are applied on Magnetic Resonance images (MRI) to avoid the network from overfitting. The proposed methodology achieves an overall accuracy of 98.28% and 97.87% without data augmentation and 99.0% and 98.86% with data augmentation for Kaggle and Brat's datasets, respectively. The Area Under Curve (AUC) for Receiver Operator Characteristic (ROC) is 0.9978 and 0.9850 for the same datasets. The result shows that ResNet50 performs best in the classification of brain tumors when compared with the other two networks.

This work aimed to investigate whether automated classifiers belonging to feature-based and deep learning may approach brain metastases segmentation successfully. Support Vector Machine and V-Net Convolutional Neural Network are selected as representatives of the two approaches. In the experiments, we consider several configurations of the two methods to segment brain metastases on contrast-enhanced T1-weighted magnetic resonance images. Performances were evaluated and compared under critical conditions imposed by the clinical radiotherapy domain, using in-house dataset and public dataset created for the Multimodal Brain Tumour Image Segmentation (BraTS) challenge. Our results showed that the feature-based and the deep network approaches are promising for the segmentation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain metastases achieving both an acceptable level of performance. Experimental results also highlight different behaviour between the two methods. Support vector machine (SVM) improves performance with a smaller training set, but it is unable to manage a high level of heterogeneity in the data and requires post-processing refinement stages. The V-Net model shows good performances when trained on multiple heterogeneous cases but requires data augmentations and transfer learning procedures to optimise its behaviour. The paper illustrates a software package implementing an integrated set of procedures for active support in segmenting brain metastases within the radiotherapy workflow.

Objective: Patients with hypochondriasis hold unexplainable beliefs and a fear of having a lethal disease, with poor compliances and treatment response to psychotropic drugs. Although several studies have demonstrated that patients with hypochondriasis demonstrate abnormalities in brain structure and function, gray matter volume (GMV) and functional connectivity (FC) in hypochondriasis still remain unclear.Methods: The present study collected T1-weighted and resting-state functional magnetic resonance images from 21 hypochondriasis patients and 22 well-matched healthy controls (HCs). We first analyzed the difference in the GMV between the two groups. We then used the regions showing a difference in GMV between two groups as seeds to perform functional connectivity (FC) analysis. Finally, a support vector machine (SVM) was applied to the imaging data to distinguish hypochondriasis patients from HCs.Results: Compared with the HCs, the hypochondriasis group showed decreased GMV in the left precuneus, and increased GMV in the left medial frontal gyrus. FC analyses revealed decreased FC between the left medial frontal gyrus and cuneus, and between the left precuneus and cuneus. A combination of both GMV and FC in the left precuneus, medial frontal gyrus, and cuneus was able to discriminate the hypochondriasis patients from HCs with a sensitivity of 0.98, specificity of 0.93, and accuracy of 0.95.Conclusion: Our study suggests that smaller left precuneus volumes and decreased FC between the left precuneus and cuneus seem to play an important role of hypochondriasis. Future studies are needed to confirm whether this finding is generalizable to patients with hypochondriasis.
