AbstractBrain tumor is a group of anomalous cells. The brain is enclosed in a more rigid skull. The abnormal cell grows and initiates a tumor. Detection of tumor is a complicated task due to irregular tumor shape. The proposed technique contains four phases, which are lesion enhancement, feature extraction and selection for classification, localization, and segmentation. The magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are noisy due to certain factors, such as image acquisition, and fluctuation in magnetic field coil. Therefore, a homomorphic wavelet filer is used for noise reduction. Later, extracted features from inceptionv3 pre-trained model and informative features are selected using a non-dominated sorted genetic algorithm (NSGA). The optimized features are forwarded for classification after which tumor slices are passed to YOLOv2-inceptionv3 model designed for the localization of tumor region such that features are extracted from depth-concatenation (mixed-4) layer of inceptionv3 model and supplied to YOLOv2. The localized images are passed toMcCulloch'sKapur entropy method to segment actual tumor region. Finally, the proposed technique is validated on three benchmark databases BRATS 2018, BRATS 2019, and BRATS 2020 for tumor detection. The proposed method achieved greater than 0.90 prediction scores in localization, segmentation and classification of brain lesions. Moreover, classification and segmentation outcomes are superior as compared to existing methods.

Brain tumor segmentation is a challenging task in the medical diagnosis. The primary aim of brain tumor segmentation is to produce precise characterizations of brain tumor areas using adequately placed masks. Deep learning techniques have shown great promise in recent years for solving various computer vision problems such as object detection, image classification, and semantic segmentation. Numerous deep learning-based approaches have been implemented to achieve excellent system performance in brain tumor segmentation. This article aims to comprehensively study the recently developed brain tumor segmentation technology based on deep learning in light of the most advanced technology and its performance. A genetic algorithm based on fuzzy C-means (FCM-GA) was used in this study to segment tumor regions from brain images. The input image is scaled to 256×256 during the preprocessing stage. FCM-GA segmented a preprocessed MRI image. This is a versatile advanced machine learning (ML) technique for locating objects in large datasets. The segmented image is then subjected to hybrid feature extraction (HFE) to improve the feature subset. To obtain the best feature value, Kernel Nearest Neighbor with a genetic algorithm (KNN-GA) is used in the feature selection process. The best feature value is fed into the RESNET classifier, which divides the MRI image into meningioma, glioma, and pituitary gland regions. Real-time data sets are used to validate the performance of the proposed hybrid method. The proposed method improves average classification accuracy by 7.99 % to existing Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) and Support Vector Machines (SVM) classification algorithms

PurposeBrain tumor is one of the most dangerous and life-threatening disease. In order to decide the type of tumor, devising a treatment plan and estimating the overall survival time of the patient, accurate segmentation of tumor region from images is extremely important. The process of manual segmentation is very time-consuming and prone to errors; therefore, this paper aims to provide a deep learning based method, that automatically segment the tumor region from MR images.Design/methodology/approachIn this paper, the authors propose a deep neural network for automatic brain tumor (Glioma) segmentation. Intensity normalization and data augmentation have been incorporated as pre-processing steps for the images. The proposed model is trained on multichannel magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images. The model outputs high-resolution segmentations of brain tumor regions in the input images.FindingsThe proposed model is evaluated on benchmark BRATS 2013 dataset. To evaluate the performance, the authors have used Dice score, sensitivity and positive predictive value (PPV). The superior performance of the proposed model is validated by training very popular UNet model in the similar conditions. The results indicate that proposed model has obtained promising results and is effective for segmentation of Glioma regions in MRI at a clinical level.Practical implicationsThe model can be used by doctors to identify the exact location of the tumorous region.Originality/valueThe proposed model is an improvement to the UNet model. The model has fewer layers and a smaller number of parameters in comparison to the UNet model. This helps the network to train over databases with fewer images and gives superior results. Moreover, the information of bottleneck feature learned by the network has been fused with skip connection path to enrich the feature map.

Purpose Brain tumor segmentation and classification is the interesting area for differentiating the tumorous and the non-tumorous cells in the brain and classifies the tumorous cells for identifying its level. The methods developed so far lack the automatic classification, consuming considerable time for the classification. In this work, a novel brain tumor classification approach, namely, harmony cuckoo search-based deep belief network (HCS-DBN) has been proposed. Here, the images present in the database are segmented based on the newly developed hybrid active contour (HAC) segmentation model, which is the integration of the Bayesian fuzzy clustering (BFC) and the active contour model. The proposed HCS-DBN algorithm is trained with the features obtained from the segmented images. Finally, the classifier provides the information about the tumor class in each slice available in the database. Experimentation of the proposed HAC and the HCS-DBN algorithm is done using the MRI image available in the BRATS database, and results are observed. The simulation results prove that the proposed HAC and the HCS-DBN algorithm have an overall better performance with the values of 0.945, 0.9695 and 0.99348 for accuracy, sensitivity and specificity, respectively. Design/methodology/approach The proposed HAC segmentation approach integrates the properties of the AC model and BFC. Initially, the brain image with different modalities is subjected to segmentation with the BFC and AC models. Then, the Laplacian correction is applied to fuse the segmented outputs from each model. Finally, the proposed HAC segmentation provides the error-free segments of the brain tumor regions prevailing in the MRI image. The next step is to extract the useful features, based on scattering transform, wavelet transform and local Gabor binary pattern, from the segmented brain image. Finally, the extracted features from each segment are provided to the DBN for the training, and the HCS algorithm chooses the optimal weights for DBN training. Findings The experimentation of the proposed HAC with the HCS-DBN algorithm is analyzed with the standard BRATS database, and its performance is evaluated based on metrics such as accuracy, sensitivity and specificity. The simulation results of the proposed HAC with the HCS-DBN algorithm are compared against existing works such as k-NN, NN, multi-SVM and multi-SVNN. The results achieved by the proposed HAC with the HCS-DBN algorithm are eventually higher than the existing works with the values of 0.945, 0.9695 and 0.99348 for accuracy, sensitivity and specificity, respectively. Originality/value This work presents the brain tumor segmentation and the classification scheme by introducing the HAC-based segmentation model. The proposed HAC model combines the BFC and the active contour model through a fusion process, using the Laplacian correction probability for segmenting the slices in the database.

Purpose The precise segmentation of brain tumors is the most important and crucial step in their diagnosis and treatment. Due to the presence of noise, uneven gray levels, blurred boundaries and edema around the brain tumor region, the brain tumor image has indistinct features in the tumor region, which pose a problem for diagnostics. The paper aims to discuss these issues. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the authors propose an original solution for segmentation using Tamura Texture and ensemble Support Vector Machine (SVM) structure. In the proposed technique, 124 features of each voxel are extracted, including Tamura texture features and grayscale features. Then, these features are ranked using the SVM-Recursive Feature Elimination method, which is also adopted to optimize the parameters of the Radial Basis Function kernel of SVMs. Finally, the bagging random sampling method is utilized to construct the ensemble SVM classifier based on a weighted voting mechanism to classify the types of voxel. Findings The experiments are conducted over a sample data set to be called BraTS2015. The experiments demonstrate that Tamura texture is very useful in the segmentation of brain tumors, especially the feature of line-likeness. The superior performance of the proposed ensemble SVM classifier is demonstrated by comparison with single SVM classifiers as well as other methods. Originality/value The authors propose an original solution for segmentation using Tamura Texture and ensemble SVM structure.
