Tumors are cells that grow abnormally and uncontrollably, whereas brain tumors are abnormally growing cells growing in or near the brain. It is estimated that 23,890 adults (13,590 males and 10,300 females) in the United States and 3,540 children under the age of 15 would be diagnosed with a brain tumor. Meanwhile, there are over 250 cases in Indonesia of patients afflicted with brain tumors, both adults and infants. The doctor or medical personnel usually conducted a radiological test that commonly performed using magnetic resonance image (MRI) to identify the brain tumor. From several studies, each researcher claims that the results of their proposed method can detect brain tumors with high accuracy; however, there are still flaws in their methods. This paper will discuss the classification of MRI-based brain tumors using deep learning and transfer learning. Transfer learning allows for various domains, functions, and distributions used in training and research. This research used a public dataset. The dataset comprises 253 images, divided into 98 tumor-free brain images and 155 tumor images. Residual Network (ResNet), Neural Architecture Search Network (NASNet), Xception, DenseNet, and Visual Geometry Group (VGG) are the techniques that will use in this paper. The results got to show that the ResNet50 model gets 96% for the accuracy, and VGG16 gets 96% for the accuracy. The results obtained indicate that transfer learning can handle medical images.

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.


Automated brain tumor identification and classification is still an open problem for research in the medical image processing domain. Brain tumor is a bunch of unwanted cells that develop in the brain. This growth of a tumor takes up space within skull and affects the normal functioning of brain. Automated segmentation and detection of brain tumors are important in MRI scan analysis as it provides information about neural architecture of brain and also about abnormal tissues that are extremely necessary to identify appropriate surgical plan. Automating this process is a challenging task as tumor tissues show high diversity in appearance with different patients and also in many cases they tend to appear very similar to the normal tissues. Effective extraction of features that represent the tumor in brain image is the key for better classification. In this paper, we propose a hybrid feature extraction process. In this process, we combine the local and global features of the brain MRI using first by Discrete Wavelet Transformation and then using texture based statistical features by computing Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix. The extracted combined features are used to construct decision tree for classification of brain tumors in to benign or malignant class.

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.


Brain tumors are the result of unusual growth and unrestrained cell disunity in the brain. Most of the medical image application lack in segmentation and labeling. Brain tumors can lead to loss of lives if they are not detected early and correctly. Recently, deep learning has been an important role in the field of digital health. One of its action is the reduction of manual decision in the diagnosis of diseases specifically brain tumor diagnosis needs high accuracy, where minute errors in judgment may lead to loss therefore, brain tumor segmentation is an necessary challenge in medical side. In recent time numerous ,methods exist for tumor segmentation with lack of accuracy. Deep learning is used to achieve the goal of brain tumor segmentation. In this work, three network of brain MR images segmentation is employed .A single network is compared to achieve segmentation of MR images using separate network .In this paper segmentation has improved and result is obtained with high accuracy and efficiency.

A brain tumor is one of the foremost reasons for the rise in mortality among children and adults. A brain tumor is a mass of tissue that propagates out of control of the normal forces that regulate growth inside the brain. A brain tumor appears when one type of cell changes from its normal characteristics and grows and multiplies abnormally. The unusual growth of cells within the brain or inside the skull, which can be cancerous or non-cancerous has been the reason for the death of adults in developed countries and children in under developing countries like Ethiopia. The studies have shown that the region growing algorithm initializes the seed point either manually or semi-manually which as a result affects the segmentation result. However, in this paper, we proposed an enhanced region-growing algorithm for the automatic seed point initialization. The proposed approach’s performance was compared with the state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms using the common dataset, BRATS2015. In the proposed approach, we applied a thresholding technique to strip the skull from each input brain image. After the skull is stripped the brain image is divided into 8 blocks. Then, for each block, we computed the mean intensities and from which the five blocks with maximum mean intensities were selected out of the eight blocks. Next, the five maximum mean intensities were used as a seed point for the region growing algorithm separately and obtained five different regions of interest (ROIs) for each skull stripped input brain image. The five ROIs generated using the proposed approach were evaluated using dice similarity score (DSS), intersection over union (IoU), and accuracy (Acc) against the ground truth (GT), and the best region of interest is selected as a final ROI. Finally, the final ROI was compared with different state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms and region-based segmentation algorithms in terms of DSS. Our proposed approach was validated in three different experimental setups. In the first experimental setup where 15 randomly selected brain images were used for testing and achieved a DSS value of 0.89. In the second and third experimental setups, the proposed approach scored a DSS value of 0.90 and 0.80 for 12 randomly selected and 800 brain images respectively. The average DSS value for the three experimental setups was 0.86.

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.

AbstractEsophageal adenocarcinoma (EAC) is a rare but lethal cancer with rising incidence in several global hotspots including the United States. The five-year survival rate for patients diagnosed with advanced disease can be as low as 5% in EAC, making early detection and preventive intervention crucial. The current standard of care for EAC targets patients with Barrett’s esophagus (BE), the main precursor to EAC and a relatively common condition in adults with chronic acid reflux disease. Preventive care for EAC requires repeated surveillance endoscopies of BE patients with biopsy sampling, and can be intrusive, error-prone, and costly. The integration of minimally-invasive subsurface tissue imaging in the current standard of care can reduce the need for exhaustive tissue sampling and improve the quality of life in BE patients. Effective adoption of subsurface imaging in EAC care can be facilitated by computer-aided detection (CAD) systems based on deep learning. Despite their recent successes in lung and breast cancer imaging, the development of deep neural networks for rare conditions like EAC remains challenging due to data scarcity, heavy bias in existing datasets toward non-cases, and uncertainty in image labels. Here we explore the use of synthetic datasets–specifically data derived from simulations of optical back-scattering during imaging– in the development of CAD systems based on deep learning. As a proof of concept, we studied the binary classification of esophageal OCT into normal squamous and glandular mucosae, typical of BE. We found that deep convolutional networks trained on synthetic data had improved performance over models trained on clinical datasets with uncertain labels. Model performance also improved with dataset size during training on synthetic data. Our findings demonstrate the utility of transfer from simulations to real data in the context of medical imaging, especially in the severely data-poor regime and when significant uncertainty in labels are present, and motivate further development of transfer learning from simulations to aid the development of CAD for rare malignancies.

Abstract With lot happening in the field of Deep Learning, classification of brain tumor is still a matter of concern. Brain tumor segmentation and classification using MRI scans has achieved lot of interest in the area of medical imaging. The emphasis still lies on developing automatic computer-aided system for early predictions and diagnosis. MRI of brain Tumors not only varies in shape but sometimes gives less contrasted details also. In this paper, we present a FastAI based Transfer Learning tumor classification in which pre-trained model with segmented features classifies tumor based on its learning. The proposed model with the technique of Deep learning applies ResNet152 as base model to extract features from the MRI brain images. With certain changes in the last 3 layers of ResNet152, 97% accuracy in Dataset-253, 96% accuracy in Dataset-205 is achieved. Models such as Resnet50, VGG16, ResNet34 and Basic CNN is also evaluated. The model improved from ResNet152 has provided improved results. The observations suggest that usage of Transfer Learning is effective when the Dataset is limited. The prepared model is effective and can be collaborated in computer-aided brain MR images Tumor classification.

Brain tumors are the growth of abnormal cells or a mass in a brain. Numerous kinds of brain tumors were discovered, which need accurate and early detection techniques. Currently, most diagnosis and detection methods rely on the decision of neuro-specialists and radiologists to evaluate brain images, which may be time-consuming and cause human errors. This paper proposes a robust U-Net deep learning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model that can classify if the subject has a tumor or not based on Brain Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with acceptable accuracy for medical-grade application. The study built and trained the 3D U-Net CNN including encoding/decoding relationship architecture to perform the brain tumor segmentation because it requires fewer training images and provides more precise segmentation. The algorithm consists of three parts; the first part, the downsampling part, the bottleneck part, and the optimum part. The resultant semantic maps are inserted into the decoder fraction to obtain the full-resolution probability maps. The developed U-Net architecture has been applied on the MRI scan brain tumor segmentation dataset in MICCAI BraTS 2017. The results using Matlab-based toolbox indicate that the proposed architecture has been successfully evaluated and experienced for MRI datasets of brain tumor segmentation including 336 images as training data and 125 images for validation. This work demonstrated comparative performance and successful feasibility of implementing U-Net CNN architecture in an automated framework of brain tumor segmentations in Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MR Slices. The developed U-Net CNN model succeeded in performing the brain tumor segmentation task to classify the input brain images into a tumor or not based on the MRI dataset.
