Brain tumor detection or brain tumor classification is one of the most challenging problems in modern medicine, where patients suffering from benign or malignant brain tumors are usually characterized by low life expectancy making the necessity of a punctual and accurate diagnosis mandatory. However, even today, this kind of diagnosis is based on manual classification of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), culminating in inaccurate conclusions especially when they derive from inexperienced doctors. Hence, trusted, automatic classification schemes are essential for the reduction of humans’ death rate due to this major chronic disease. In this article, we propose an automatic classification tool, using a computationally economic convolutional neural network (CNN), for the purposes of a binary problem concerning MRI images depicting the existence or the absence of brain tumors. The proposed model is based on a dataset containing real MRI images of both classes with nearly perfect validation-testing accuracy and low computational complexity, resulting a very fast and reliable training-validation process. During our analysis we compare the diagnostic capacity of three alternative loss functions, validating the appropriateness of cross entropy function, while underlining the capability of an alternative loss function named Jensen-Shannon divergence since our model accomplished nearly excellent testing accuracy, as with cross-entropy. The multiple validation tests applied, enhancing the robustness of the produced results, render this low-complexity CNN structure as an ideal and trustworthy medical aid for the classification of small datasets.

The classification of brain tumors is a difficult task in the field of medical image analysis. Improving algorithms and machine learning technology helps radiologists to easily diagnose the tumor without surgical intervention. In recent years, deep learning techniques have made excellent progress in the field of medical image processing and analysis. However, there are many difficulties in classifying brain tumors using magnetic resonance imaging; first, the difficulty of brain structure and the intertwining of tissues in it; and secondly, the difficulty of classifying brain tumors due to the high density nature of the brain. We propose a differential deep convolutional neural network model (differential deep-CNN) to classify different types of brain tumor, including abnormal and normal magnetic resonance (MR) images. Using differential operators in the differential deep-CNN architecture, we derived the additional differential feature maps in the original CNN feature maps. The derivation process led to an improvement in the performance of the proposed approach in accordance with the results of the evaluation parameters used. The advantage of the differential deep-CNN model is an analysis of a pixel directional pattern of images using contrast calculations and its high ability to classify a large database of images with high accuracy and without technical problems. Therefore, the proposed approach gives an excellent overall performance. To test and train the performance of this model, we used a dataset consisting of 25,000 brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, which includes abnormal and normal images. The experimental results showed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.25%. This study demonstrates that the proposed differential deep-CNN model can be used to facilitate the automatic classification of brain tumors.

Brain tumor is a mass that grows unevenly in the brain and directly affects human life. The mass occurs spontaneously because of the tissues surrounding the brain or the skull. There are two types of Brain tumor such as Benign and Malignant. Malignant brain tumors contain cancer cells and grow quickly and spread through to other brain and spine regions as well. Accurate and prompt diagnosis of brain tumors is essential for implementing an effective treatment of this disease. Brain images produced by the Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique are a rich source of data for brain tumor diagnosis and treatment in the medical field. Due to the existence of a large number of features compared to the other imaging types. The performance of existing methods is inadequate considering the medical significance of the classification problem. Earlier methods relied on manually delineated tumor regions, prior to classification. This prevented them from being fully automated. The automatic algorithms developed using CNN and its variants could not achieve an influential improvement in performance. In order to overcome such an issue, the proposed one is automatic brain tumor detection system, which is “ Enhanced Convolution Neural Network (CNN) Algorithm for MRI Images” for the detection of brain tumor is useful to detect and classify the Glioma part into low Glioma and high Glioma.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop an efficient brain tumor detection model using the beneficial concept of hybrid classification using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images Brain tumors are the most familiar and destructive disease, resulting to a very short life expectancy in their highest grade. The knowledge and the sudden progression in the area of brain imaging technologies have perpetually ready for an essential role in evaluating and concentrating the novel perceptions of brain anatomy and operations. The system of image processing has prevalent usage in the part of medical science for enhancing the early diagnosis and treatment phases. Design/methodology/approach The proposed detection model involves five main phases, namely, image pre-processing, tumor segmentation, feature extraction, third-level discrete wavelet transform (DWT) extraction and detection. Initially, the input MRI image is subjected to pre-processing using different steps called image scaling, entropy-based trilateral filtering and skull stripping. Image scaling is used to resize the image, entropy-based trilateral filtering extends to eradicate the noise from the digital image. Moreover, skull stripping is done by Otsu thresholding. Next to the pre-processing, tumor segmentation is performed by the fuzzy centroid-based region growing algorithm. Once the tumor is segmented from the input MRI image, feature extraction is done, which focuses on the first-order and higher-order statistical measures. In the detection side, a hybrid classifier with the merging of neural network (NN) and convolutional neural network (CNN) is adopted. Here, NN takes the first-order and higher-order statistical measures as input, whereas CNN takes the third level DWT image as input. As an improvement, the number of hidden neurons of both NN and CNN is optimized by a novel meta-heuristic algorithm called Crossover Operated Rooster-based Chicken Swarm Optimization (COR-CSO). The AND operation of outcomes obtained from both optimized NN and CNN categorizes the input image into two classes such as normal and abnormal. Finally, a valuable performance evaluation will prove that the performance of the proposed model is quite good over the entire existing model. Findings From the experimental results, the accuracy of the suggested COR-CSO-NN + CNN was seemed to be 18% superior to support vector machine, 11.3% superior to NN, 22.9% superior to deep belief network, 15.6% superior to CNN and 13.4% superior to NN + CNN, 11.3% superior to particle swarm optimization-NN + CNN, 9.2% superior to grey wolf optimization-NN + CNN, 5.3% superior to whale optimization algorithm-NN + CNN and 3.5% superior to CSO-NN + CNN. Finally, it was concluded that the suggested model is superior in detecting brain tumors effectively using MRI images. Originality/value This paper adopts the latest optimization algorithm called COR-CSO to detect brain tumors using NN and CNN. This is the first study that uses COR-CSO-based optimization for accurate brain tumor detection.

The brain tumors are by far the most severe and violent disease, contributing to the highest degree of a very low life expectancy. Therefore, recovery preparation is a crucial step in improving patient quality of life. In general , different imaging techniques such as computed tomography ( CT), magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) and ultrasound imaging have been used to examine the tumor in the brain, lung , liver, breast , prostate ... etc. MRI images are especially used in this research to diagnose tumor within the brain with classification results. The massive amount of data produced by the MRI scan, therefore, destroys the manual classification of tumor vs. non-tumor in a given period. However for a limited number of images, it is presented with some constraint that is precise quantitative measurements. Consequently, a trustworthy and automated classification scheme is important for preventing human death rates. The automatic classification of brain tumors is a very challenging task in broad spatial and structural heterogeneity of the surrounding brain tumor area. Automatic brain tumor identification is suggested in this research by the use of the classification with Deep Belief Network (DBN). Experimental results show that the DBN archive rate with low complexity seems to be 97 % accurate compared to all other state of the art methods.

A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in our brain. Many different types of brain tumors exist. Some brain tumors are noncancerous (benign), and some brain tumors are cancerous (malignant). Brain tumors can begin in your brain (primary brain tumors), or cancer can begin in other parts of your body and spread to your brain (secondary, or metastatic, brain tumors). Brain tumor treatment options depend on the type of brain tumor you have, as well as its size and location. The classification of brain tumors is performed by biopsy, which is not usually conducted before definitive brain surgery. The improvement of technology and machine learning can help radiologists in tumor diagnostics without invasive measures. A machine-learning algorithm that has achieved substantial results in image classification is the convolution neural network (CNN). It is predicted that the success of the obtained results will increase if the CNN method is supported by adding extra feature extraction methods and classify successfully brain tumor normal and abnormal image.

<p class="Abstract">Even with the enormous progress in medical technology, brain tumor detection is still an extremely tedious and complex task for the physicians. The early and accurate detection of brain tumors enables effective and efficient therapy and thus can result in increased survival rates. Automatic detection and classification of brain tumors have the potential to achieve efficiency and a higher degree of predictable accuracy. However, it is well established that the accuracy performance of automatic detection and classification techniques varies from technique to technique, and tends to be image modality dependent. This paper reviews the state-of-the-art detection techniques and highlights their pros and cons.</p>

In clinical practice and patient survival rates, early diagnosis of brain tumors plays a key role. Different forms of brain tumors and their properties and treatments are available. Therefore, tumor detection is complicated, time consuming and error-prone with manual brain tumor detection. Therefore, high-precision automated, computerized diagnostics are currently necessary. Feature extraction is a tumor prediction method for capturing the visual content of a picture. The extraction of features is the process through which the raw image is reduced and decisions like the pattern classification are facilitated. The MRI brain images are considered to be classified as a robust and more accurate classification that is able to serve as an expert assistant for healthcare practitioners. In this research, a new method for selecting and extracting features is introduced. The paper proposes to take into account the most important features for the classification of tumor and non-tumor cells using a Double-Weighted Feature Extraction Labelling Model with Priority Weighted Feature Selection (DWLM-PWFS). This approach combines the tumor's intensity, texture, shape and diagnostic properties. The selection of features with the technique proposed is most helpful for analyzing data according to grouping class variable and ensuring reduced feature setting with high classification accuracy. In contrast to the conventional model, the model proposed is shown to be highly efficient in comparison with traditional models.
