The Difference

In order to improve the accuracy of glioma segmentation, a multimodal MRI glioma segmentation algorithm based on superpixels is proposed. Aiming at the current unsupervised feature extraction methods in MRI brain tumor segmentation that cannot adapt to the differences in brain tumor images, an MRI brain tumor segmentation method based on multimodal 3D convolutional neural networks (CNNs) feature extraction is proposed. First, the multimodal MRI is oversegmented into a series of superpixels that are uniform, compact, and exactly fit the image boundary. Then, a dynamic region merging algorithm based on sequential probability ratio hypothesis testing is applied to gradually merge the generated superpixels to form dozens of statistically significant regions. Finally, these regions are postprocessed to obtain the segmentation results of each organization of GBM. Combine 2D multimodal MRI images into 3D original features and extract features through 3D-CNNs, which is more conducive to extracting the difference information between the modalities, removing redundant interference information between the modalities, and reducing the original features at the same time. The size of the neighborhood can adapt to the difference of tumor size in different image layers of the same patient and further improve the segmentation accuracy of MRI brain tumors. The experimental results prove that it can adapt to the differences and variability between the modalities of different patients to improve the segmentation accuracy of brain tumors.

Abstract Background Brain tumor segmentation is a challenging problem in medical image processing and analysis. It is a very time-consuming and error-prone task. In order to reduce the burden on physicians and improve the segmentation accuracy, the computer-aided detection (CAD) systems need to be developed. Due to the powerful feature learning ability of the deep learning technology, many deep learning-based methods have been applied to the brain tumor segmentation CAD systems and achieved satisfactory accuracy. However, deep learning neural networks have high computational complexity, and the brain tumor segmentation process consumes significant time. Therefore, in order to achieve the high segmentation accuracy of brain tumors and obtain the segmentation results efficiently, it is very demanding to speed up the segmentation process of brain tumors. Results Compared with traditional computing platforms, the proposed FPGA accelerator has greatly improved the speed and the power consumption. Based on the BraTS19 and BraTS20 dataset, our FPGA-based brain tumor segmentation accelerator is 5.21 and 44.47 times faster than the TITAN V GPU and the Xeon CPU. In addition, by comparing energy efficiency, our design can achieve 11.22 and 82.33 times energy efficiency than GPU and CPU, respectively. Conclusion We quantize and retrain the neural network for brain tumor segmentation and merge batch normalization layers to reduce the parameter size and computational complexity. The FPGA-based brain tumor segmentation accelerator is designed to map the quantized neural network model. The accelerator can increase the segmentation speed and reduce the power consumption on the basis of ensuring high accuracy which provides a new direction for the automatic segmentation and remote diagnosis of brain tumors.

Intracranial tumors are a type of cancer that grows spontaneously inside the skull. Brain tumor is the cause for one in four deaths. Hence early detection of the tumor is important. For this aim, a variety of segmentation techniques are available. The fundamental disadvantage of present approaches is their low segmentation accuracy. With the help of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), a preventive medical step of early detection and evaluation of brain tumor is done. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) offers detailed information on human delicate tissue, which aids in the diagnosis of a brain tumor. The proposed method in this paper is Brain Tumour Detection and Classification based on Ensembled Feature extraction and classification using CNN.

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.

Background: Glioma is one of the most common and aggressive primary brain tumors that endanger human health. Tumors segmentation is a key step in assisting the diagnosis and treatment of cancer disease. However, it is a relatively challenging task to precisely segment tumors considering characteristics of brain tumors and the device noise. Recently, with the breakthrough development of deep learning, brain tumor segmentation methods based on fully convolutional neural network (FCN) have illuminated brilliant performance and attracted more and more attention. Methods: In this work, we propose a novel FCN based network called SDResU-Net for brain tumor segmentation, which simultaneously embeds dilated convolution and separable convolution into residual U-Net architecture. SDResU-Net introduces dilated block into a residual U-Net architecture, which largely expends the receptive field and gains better local and global feature descriptions capacity. Meanwhile, to fully utilize the channel and region information of MRI brain images, we separate the internal and inter-slice structures of the improved residual U-Net by employing separable convolution operator. The proposed SDResU-Net captures more pixel-level details and spatial information, which provides a considerable alternative for the automatic and accurate segmentation of brain tumors. Results and Conclusion: The proposed SDResU-Net is extensively evaluated on two public MRI brain image datasets, i.e., BraTS 2017 and BraTS 2018. Compared with its counterparts and stateof- the-arts, SDResU-Net gains superior performance on both datasets, showing its effectiveness. In addition, cross-validation results on two datasets illuminate its satisfying generalization ability.

Sparse Subspace Clustering

Brain tumors are one of the most deadly diseases with a high mortality rate. The shape and size of the tumor are random during the growth process. Brain tumor segmentation is a brain tumor assisted diagnosis technology that separates different brain tumor structures such as edema and active and tumor necrosis tissues from normal brain tissue. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology has the advantages of no radiation impact on the human body, good imaging effect on structural tissues, and an ability to realize tomographic imaging of any orientation. Therefore, doctors often use MRI brain tumor images to analyze and process brain tumors. In these images, the tumor structure is only characterized by grayscale changes, and the developed images obtained by different equipment and different conditions may also be different. This makes it difficult for traditional image segmentation methods to deal well with the segmentation of brain tumor images. Considering that the traditional single-mode MRI brain tumor images contain incomplete brain tumor information, it is difficult to segment the single-mode brain tumor images to meet clinical needs. In this paper, a sparse subspace clustering (SSC) algorithm is introduced to process the diagnosis of multimodal MRI brain tumor images. In the absence of added noise, the proposed algorithm has better advantages than traditional methods. Compared with the top 15 in the Brats 2015 competition, the accuracy is not much different, being basically stable between 10 and 15. In order to verify the noise resistance of the proposed algorithm, this paper adds 5%, 10%, 15%, and 20% Gaussian noise to the test image. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm has better noise immunity than a comparable algorithm.
