Brain tumors can appear anywhere in the brain and have vastly different sizes and morphology. Additionally, these tumors are often diffused and poorly contrasted. Consequently, the segmentation of brain tumor and intratumor subregions using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data with minimal human interventions remains a challenging task. In this paper, we present a novel fully automatic segmentation method from MRI data containing in vivo brain gliomas. This approach can not only localize the entire tumor region but can also accurately segment the intratumor structure. The proposed work was based on a cascaded deep learning convolutional neural network consisting of two subnetworks: (1) a tumor localization network (TLN) and (2) an intratumor classification network (ITCN). The TLN, a fully convolutional network (FCN) in conjunction with the transfer learning technology, was used to first process MRI data. The goal of the first subnetwork was to define the tumor region from an MRI slice. Then, the ITCN was used to label the defined tumor region into multiple subregions. Particularly, ITCN exploited a convolutional neural network (CNN) with deeper architecture and smaller kernel. The proposed approach was validated on multimodal brain tumor segmentation (BRATS 2015) datasets, which contain 220 high-grade glioma (HGG) and 54 low-grade glioma (LGG) cases. Dice similarity coefficient (DSC), positive predictive value (PPV), and sensitivity were used as evaluation metrics. Our experimental results indicated that our method could obtain the promising segmentation results and had a faster segmentation speed. More specifically, the proposed method obtained comparable and overall better DSC values (0.89, 0.77, and 0.80) on the combined (HGG + LGG) testing set, as compared to other methods reported in the literature. Additionally, the proposed approach was able to complete a segmentation task at a rate of 1.54 seconds per slice.

Automatic and accurate segmentation of brain tumors plays an important role in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors. In order to improve the accuracy of brain tumor segmentation, an improved multimodal MRI brain tumor segmentation algorithm based on U-net is proposed in this paper. In the original U-net, the contracting path uses the pooling layer to reduce the resolution of the feature image and increase the receptive field. In the expanding path, the up sampling is used to restore the size of the feature image. In this process, some details of the image will be lost, leading to low segmentation accuracy. This paper proposes an improved convolutional neural network named AIU-net (Atrous-Inception U-net). In the encoder of U-net, A-inception (Atrous-inception) module is introduced to replace the original convolution block. The A-inception module is an inception structure with atrous convolution, which increases the depth and width of the network and can expand the receptive field without adding additional parameters. In order to capture the multiscale features, the atrous spatial pyramid pooling module (ASPP) is introduced. The experimental results on the BraTS (the multimodal brain tumor segmentation challenge) dataset show that the dice score obtained by this method is 0.93 for the enhancing tumor region, 0.86 for the whole tumor region, and 0.92 for the tumor core region, and the segmentation accuracy is improved.

This paper presents brain tumor detection and segmentation using image processing techniques. Convolutional neural networks can be applied for medical research in brain tumor analysis. The tumor in the MRI scans is segmented using the K-means clustering algorithm which is applied of every scan and the feed it to the convolutional neural network for training and testing. In our CNN we propose to use ReLU and Sigmoid activation functions to determine our end result. The training is done only using the CPU power and no GPU is used. The research is done in two phases, image processing and applying neural network.

Segmentation Methods

Among the currently proposed brain segmentation methods, brain tumor segmentation methods based on traditional image processing and machine learning are not ideal enough. Therefore, deep learning-based brain segmentation methods are widely used. In the brain tumor segmentation method based on deep learning, the convolutional network model has a good brain segmentation effect. The deep convolutional network model has the problems of a large number of parameters and large loss of information in the encoding and decoding process. This paper proposes a deep convolutional neural network fusion support vector machine algorithm (DCNN-F-SVM). The proposed brain tumor segmentation model is mainly divided into three stages. In the first stage, a deep convolutional neural network is trained to learn the mapping from image space to tumor marker space. In the second stage, the predicted labels obtained from the deep convolutional neural network training are input into the integrated support vector machine classifier together with the test images. In the third stage, a deep convolutional neural network and an integrated support vector machine are connected in series to train a deep classifier. Run each model on the BraTS dataset and the self-made dataset to segment brain tumors. The segmentation results show that the performance of the proposed model is significantly better than the deep convolutional neural network and the integrated SVM classifier.
