Brain tumors are a group of cancers that originate from different cells of the central nervous system or cancers of other tissues in the brain. Excessive cell growth in the brain is called a tumor. Tumor cells need food and blood to survive. Growth and proliferation of tumor cells in the cranial space, cause strain inside the brain and thus disrupt vital human structures. Therefore, diagnosis in the early stages of brain tumors is crucial. This study introduces a new optimized method for early diagnosis of the brain tumor. The method has five main parts of noise reduction, tumor segmentation, morphology, feature extraction based on wavelet and gray-level co-occurrence matrix, and classification based on an optimized deep belief network. For optimizing the classifier network, an enhanced version of the moth search algorithm is utilized. Simulation results are applied to three different datasets, FLAIR, T1, and T2, and the accuracy results of the presented method are compared with two other metaheuristics, particle swarm optimization and Bat algorithms. The final results showed that the presented technique has good achievements toward the compared methods.

To identify brain tumors at an early stage is a challenging task. The brain tumor is usually diagnosed with Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). When MRI spectacles a tumor in the brain, the most common way of determining the type of brain tumor after a biopsy or surgery is to look at the results of a tissue sample. In this research to detect brain tumors faster and accurately the feature extraction techniques are used to segment the tumor affected area. One of such very effective technique of feature extraction measure is the Grayscale Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM). This research focuses on the GLCM and Discrete Wavelet Transformation (DWT) technique to detect and label the tumor from an image based on the textures and categorizing it according to a tumor or non-tumor category. The convolutional neural network (CNN) uses these features to improve the accuracy to 91%.

Brain tumors are one of the critical malignant neurological cancers with the highest number of deaths and injuries worldwide. They are categorized into two major classes, high-grade glioma (HGG) and low-grade glioma (LGG), with HGG being more aggressive and malignant, whereas LGG tumors are less aggressive, but if left untreated, they get converted to HGG. Thus, the classification of brain tumors into the corresponding grade is a crucial task, especially for making decisions related to treatment. Motivated by the importance of such critical threats to humans, we propose a novel framework for brain tumor classification using discrete wavelet transform-based fusion of MRI sequences and Radiomics feature extraction. We utilized the Brain Tumor Segmentation 2018 challenge training dataset for the performance evaluation of our approach, and we extract features from three regions of interest derived using a combination of several tumor regions. We used wrapper method-based feature selection techniques for selecting a significant set of features and utilize various machine learning classifiers, Random Forest, Decision Tree, and Extra Randomized Tree for training the model. For proper validation of our approach, we adopt the five-fold cross-validation technique. We achieved state-of-the-art performance considering several performance metrics, 〈 Acc , Sens , Spec , F1-score , MCC , AUC 〉 ≡ 〈 98.60%, 99.05%, 97.33%, 99.05%, 96.42%, 98.19% 〉, where Acc , Sens , Spec , F1-score , MCC , and AUC represents the accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, F1-score, Matthews correlation coefficient, and area-under-the-curve, respectively. We believe our proposed approach will play a crucial role in the planning of clinical treatment and guidelines before surgery.

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 tumors are collections of abnormal tissues within the brain. The regular function of the brain may be affected as it grows within the region of the skull. Brain tumors are critical for improving treatment options and patient survival rates to prevent and treat them. The diagnosis of cancer utilizing manual approaches for numerous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is the most complex and time-consuming task. Brain tumor segmentation must be carried out automatically. A proposed strategy for brain tumor segmentation is developed in this paper. For this purpose, images are segmented based on region-based and edge-based. Brain tumor segmentation 2020 (BraTS2020) dataset is utilized in this study. A comparative analysis of the segmentation of images using the edge-based and region-based approach with U-Net with ResNet50 encoder, architecture is performed. The edge-based segmentation model performed better in all performance metrics compared to the region-based segmentation model and the edge-based model achieved the dice loss score of 0. 008768, IoU score of 0. 7542, f1 score of 0. 9870, the accuracy of 0. 9935, the precision of 0. 9852, recall of 0. 9888, and specificity of 0. 9951.

Abstract Background Brain tumors, abnormal cells growing in the human brain,are common neurological diseases that are extremely harmful to human health. Malignant brain tumors can lead to high mortality. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)༌a typical noninvasive imaging technology, can produce high-quality brain images without damage and skull artifacts, as well as provide comprehensive information to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors. Additionally༌the segmentation of MRI brain tumors utilizes computer technology to segment and label tumors and normal tissues automatically on multimodal brain images, which plays an important role in disease diagnosis, treatment planning, and surgical navigation. Methods We propose a solution using gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture and an ensemble Support Vector Machine (SVM) structure. We focus on the effects of GLCM texture on brain tumor segmentation. First, 112 GLCM features for each voxel were extracted. Next, these features were ranked using the SVM-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) method. Based on the sorting results, we found that when the number of features was 60, the value of the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) tended to be flat. The GLCM texture features maximal correlation coefficient, information measure of correlation, Angular Second Moment, sum of squares, difference variance, contrast, and inverse difference moment were important for segmentation. Finally, we selected the top 60 grayscale features and constructed an ensemble SVM classifier to separate the abnormal mass of tissue from normal brain tissues. Results The experimental material was a dataset called BraTs2015. The proposed model was verified with the Dice coefficient. For low-grade tumors, we obtained a 91.2% average Dice coefficient for segmenting the complete tumor region. For high-grade tumors, the average was slightly higher at 92.4%. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that this method has a better capacity and higher segmentation accuracy with a low computation cost.

A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells in the brain. Brain tumors can be benign or malignant. Conventional diagnosis of a brain tumor by the radiologist, is done by examining a set of images produced by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Many computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have been developed in order to help the radiologist reach his goal of correctly classifying the MRI image. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in the classification of medical images. This paper presents a novel CAD technique for the classification of brain tumors in MRI images The proposed system extracts features from the brain MRI images by utilizing the strong energy compactness property exhibited by the Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT). The Wavelet features are then applied to a CNN to classify the input MRI image. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach outperforms other commonly used methods and gives an overall accuracy of 98.5%.
