The focus of the paper is to classify the images into tumorous and non-tumorous and then locate the tumor. Amongst many medical imaging applications segmentation of Brain Tumors is an important and arduous task as the data acquired is disrupted due to artifacts being produced and acquisition time being very less, so classifying and finding the exact location of tumor is one of the most important jobs. In the paper, deep learning specifically the convolutional neural network is used to demonstrate its potential for image classification task. As the learning from available dataset will be low, so we use transfer learning [4] approach, as it is a developing AI strategy that overwhelms with the best outcomes on several image classification assignments because the pre-trained models have gained good knowledge about the features by training on a large number of images. Since, medical image datasets are hard to collect so transfer learning (Alexnet) [1] is used. Later on, after successful classification the aim is to find the exact location of the tumor and this is achieved using basics of image processing inspired by well-known technique of Mask R-CNN [9].

Abstract Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a high-risk and atrophic neurological illness that slowly and gradually destroys brain cells (i.e. neurons). As the most common type of amentia, AD affects 60–65% of all people with amentia and poses major health dangers to middle-aged and elderly people. For classification of AD in the early stage, classification systems and computer-aided diagnostic techniques have been developed. Previously, machine learning approaches were applied to develop diagnostic systems by extracting features from neural images. Currently, deep learning approaches have been used in many real-time medical imaging applications. In this study, two deep neural network techniques, AlexNet and Restnet50, were applied for the classification and recognition of AD. The data used in this study to evaluate and test the proposed model included those from brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images collected from the Kaggle website. A convolutional neural network (CNN) algorithm was applied to classify AD efficiently. CNNs were pre-trained using AlexNet and Restnet50 transfer learning models. The results of this experimentation showed that the proposed method is superior to the existing systems in terms of detection accuracy. The AlexNet model achieved outstanding performance based on five evaluation metrics (accuracy, F1 score, precision, sensitivity and specificity) for the brain MRI datasets. AlexNet displayed an accuracy of 94.53%, specificity of 98.21%, F1 score of 94.12% and sensitivity of 100%, outperforming Restnet50. The proposed method can help improve CAD methods for AD in medical investigations.


The brain tumor (BT) has turn into a chief hazard to life in many humans. With the advances in medicine and technology, early tumor detection may pay a way for treating it in an early phase and thereby reducing the death rates. MRI imaging has a significant role in imaging the BT. Neurologist base the treatment of BT on the type, location, and also size of the tumor and hence proper segmentation of the tumor region has become essential. Here, an efficient segmentation algorithm is proposed, is centered on using the Sobel edge detection mechanism and the classification of the tumor region centered on the features extorted as of the segmented images are performed. The brain MRI images from a database which contain normal and also abnormal cases. These images are stripped from the skull by utilizing the morphological operations like morphological opening along with closing. Following this, segmentation is executed and finally, features are extorted as well presented to the classifier where the classification is executed. The segmentations algorithm is estimated and also the outcome are contrasted to the other prevailing algorithms say Kmeans and SVM (Support Vectors Machine) and the classification algorithm is weighted against that of the existent classification algorithm like PNN (probabilistic neural network) and ANN (Artificial Neural Network). Thus the proposed algorithms are confirmed to be superior to the other algorithms used in BT segmentations and classification.


In the brain tumor MRI images, the identification, segmentation and detection of the infectious area is a tedious and lengthy task. As segmentation is called intensity inhomogeneity by an intrinsic object. In this paper we suggest an energy efficient minimization technique for joint domain assessment and segmentation of MR images called multiplicative intrinsic component optimization (MICO). In this work, we focused on quicker implementation with a robust removal of gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). Optimal texture characteristics are obtained by the Spatial Gray Dependence (SGLDM) technique from ordinary and tumor areas. With very large feature sets, the choice of features is redundant because the precision frequently worsens without choice of features. However, when only the feature selection is used, the precision of classification is significantly improved. However, by reducing the time needed for classification computations and improving classification precision by removing redundant, false or incorrect characteristics. A fresh function choice and weighting technique, supported by the decomposition developmental multi-objective algorithm, are provided in this work. These characteristics are provided for the MPNN classification. Modified probabilistic neural network (MPNN) classification was used in brain MRI images for training and testing for precision in tumor identification. The simulation findings accomplished almost 98% precision in the identification of ordinary and abnormal tissue from brain MR images showing the efficiency of the method suggested.
