Brain tumor is a fatal disease, caused by the growth of abnormal cells in the brain tissues. Therefore, early and accurate detection of this disease can save patient’s life. This paper proposes a novel framework for the detection of brain tumor using magnetic resonance (MR) images. The framework is based on the fully convolutional neural network (FCNN) and transfer learning techniques. The proposed framework has five stages which are preprocessing, skull stripping, CNN-based tumor segmentation, postprocessing, and transfer learning-based brain tumor binary classification. In preprocessing, the MR images are filtered to eliminate the noise and are improve the contrast. For segmentation of brain tumor images, the proposed CNN architecture is used, and for postprocessing, the global threshold technique is utilized to eliminate small nontumor regions that enhanced segmentation results. In classification, GoogleNet model is employed on three publicly available datasets. The experimental results depict that the proposed method is achieved average accuracies of 96.50%, 97.50%, and 98% for segmentation and 96.49%, 97.31%, and 98.79% for classification of brain tumor on BRATS2018, BRATS2019, and BRATS2020 datasets, respectively. The outcomes demonstrate that the proposed framework is effective and efficient that attained high performance on BRATS2020 dataset than the other two datasets. According to the experimentation results, the proposed framework outperforms other recent studies in the literature. In addition, this research will uphold doctors and clinicians for automatic diagnosis of brain tumor disease.

Under Sampling

Compressive Sensing for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (CS-MRI) aims to reconstruct Magnetic Resonance (MR) images from under-sampled raw data. There are two challenges to improve CS-MRI methods, i.e. designing an under-sampling algorithm to achieve optimal sampling, as well as designing fast and small deep neural networks to obtain reconstructed MR images with superior quality. To improve the reconstruction quality of MR images, we propose a novel deep convolutional neural network architecture for CS-MRI named MRCSNet. The MRCSNet consists of three sub-networks, a compressive sensing sampling sub-network, an initial reconstruction sub-network, and a refined reconstruction sub-network. Experimental results demonstrate that MRCSNet generates high-quality reconstructed MR images at various under-sampling ratios, and also meets the requirements of real-time CS-MRI applications. Compared to state-of-the-art CS-MRI approaches, MRCSNet offers a significant improvement in reconstruction accuracies, such as Peak Signal-to-Noise Ratio (PSNR) and Structural Similarity (SSIM). Besides, it reduces the reconstruction error evaluated by the Normalized Root-Mean-Square Error (NRMSE). The source codes are available at https://github.com/TaihuLight/MRCSNet .

BACKGROUND: The noise in magnetic resonance (MR) images causes severe issues for medical diagnosis purposes. OBJECTIVE: In this paper, we propose a discriminative learning based convolutional neural network denoiser to denoise the MR image data contaminated with noise. METHODS: The proposed method incorporates the use of depthwise separable convolution along with local response normalization with modified hyperparameters and internal skip connections to denoise the contaminated MR images. Moreover, the addition of parametric RELU instead of normal conventional RELU in our proposed architecture gives more stable and fine results. The denoised images were further segmented to test the appropriateness of the results. The network is trained on one dataset and tested on other dataset produces remarkably good results. RESULTS: Our proposed network was used to denoise the images of different noise levels, and it yields better performance as compared with various networks. The SSIM and PSNR showed an average improvement of (7.2 ± 0.002) % and (8.5 ± 0.25) % respectively when tested on different datasets without retaining the network. An improvement of 5% and 6% was achieved in the values of mean intersection over union (mIoU) and BF score when the denoised images were segmented for testing the relevancy in biomedical imaging applications. The statistical test suggests that the obtained results are statistically significant as p< 0.05. CONCLUSION: The denoised images obtained are more clinically suitable for medical image diagnosis purposes, as depicted by the evaluation parameters. Further, external clinical validation was performed by an experienced radiologist for testing the validation of the resulting images.

Background: Accurate detection of brain tumor and its severity is a challenging task in the medical field. So there is a need for developing brain tumor detecting algorithms and it is an emerging one for diagnosis, planning the treatment and outcome evaluation. Materials and Methods: Brain tumor segmentation method using deep learning classification and multi-modal composition has been developed using the deep convolutional neural networks. The different modalities of MRI such as T1, flair, T1C and T2 are given as input for the proposed method. The MR images from the different modalities are used in proportion to the information contents in the particular modality. The weights for the different modalities are calculated blockwise and the standard deviation of the block is taken as a proxy for the information content of the block. Then the convolution is performed between the input image of the T1, flair, T1C and T2 MR images and corresponding to the weight of the T1, flair, T1C, and T2 images. The convolution is summed between the different modalities of the MR images and its corresponding weight of the different modalities of the MR images to obtain a new composite image which is given as an input image to the deep convolutional neural network. The deep convolutional neural network performs segmentation through the different layers of CNN and different filter operations are performed in each layer to obtain the enhanced classification and segmented spatial consistency results. The analysis of the proposed method shows that the discriminatory information from the different modalities is effectively combined to increase the overall accuracy of segmentation. Results: The proposed deep convolutional neural network for brain tumor segmentation method has been analysed by using the Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge 2013 database (BRATS 2013). The complete, core and enhancing regions are validated with Dice Similarity Coefficient and Jaccard similarity index metric for the Challenge, Leaderboard, and Synthetic data set. To evaluate the classification rates, the metrics such as accuracy, precision, sensitivity, specificity, under-segmentation, incorrect segmentation and over segmentation also evaluated and compared with the existing methods. Experimental results exhibit a higher degree of precision in the segmentation compared to existing methods. Conclusion: In this work, deep convolution neural network with different modalities of MR image are used to detect the brain tumor. The new input image was created by convoluting the input image of the different modalities and their weights. The weights are determined using the standard deviation of the block. Segmentation accuracy is high with efficient appearance and spatial consistency. The assessment of segmented images is completely evaluated by using well-established metrics. In future, the proposed method will be considered and evaluated with other databases and the segmentation accuracy results should be analysed with the presence of different kind of noises.
