Medical image processing is an important task in current scenario as more and more humans are diagnosed with various medical issues. Brain tumor (BT) is one of the problems that is increasing at a rapid rate and its early detection is important in increasing the survival rate of humans. Detection of tumor from Magnetic Resonance Image (MRI) of brain is very difficult when done manually and also time consuming. Further the tumors assume different shapes and may be present in any portion of the brain. Hence identification of the tumor poses an important task in the lives of human and it is necessary to identify its exact position in the brain and the affected regions. The proposed algorithm makes use of deep learning concepts for automatic segmentation of the tumor from the MRI brain images. The algorithm is implemented using MATLAB and an accuracy of 99.1% is achieved.

In the medical image-processing field brain tumor segmentation is aquintessential task. Thereby early diagnosis gives us a chance of increasing survival rate. It will be way much complex and time consuming when comes to processing large amount of MRI images manually, so for that we need an automatic way of brain tumor image segmentation process. This paper aims to gives a comparative study of brain tumor segmentation, which are MRI-based. So recent methods of automatic segmentation along with advanced techniques gives us an improved result and can solve issue better than any other methods. Therefore, this paper brings comparative analysis of three models such as Deformable model of Fuzzy C-Mean clustering (DMFCM), Adaptive Cluster with Super Pixel Segmentation (ACSP) and Grey Wolf Optimization based ACSP (GWO_ACSP) and these are tested on CANCER IMAGE ACHRCHIEVE which is a preparation information base containing High Grade and Low-Grade astrocytoma tumors. Here boundaries including Accuracy, Dice coefficient, Jaccard score and MCC are assessed and along these lines produce the outcomes. From this examination the test consequences of Grey Wolf Optimization based ACSP (GWO_ACSP) gives better answer for mind tumor division issue.

Abstract The tumor detection is major challenging task in brain tumor quantitative evaluation. In recent years, owing to non-invasive and strong soft tissue comparison, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has gained great interest. MRI is a commonly used image modality technique to locate brain tumors. An immense amount of data is produced by the MRI. Heterogeneity, isointense and hypointense tumor properties restrict manual segmentation in a fair period of time, thus restricting the use of reliable quantitative measures in clinical practice. In the clinical practice manual segmentation task is quite time consuming and their performance is highly depended on the operator’s experience. Accurate and automated tumor segmentation techniques are also needed; however, the severe spatial and structural heterogeneity of brain tumors makes automatic segmentation a difficult job. This paper proposes fully automatic segmentation of brain tumors using encoder-decoder based convolutional neural networks. The paper focuses on well-known semantic segmentation deep neural networks i.e., UNET and SEGNET for segmenting tumors from Brain MRI images. The networks are trained and tested using freely accessible standard dataset, with Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) as metric for whole predicted image i.e., including tumor and background. UNET’s average DSC on test dataset is 0.76 whereas for SEGNET we got average DSC 0.67. The evaluation of results proves that UNET is having better performance than SEGNET.

PurposeAutomatic segmentation of brain tumor from medical images is a challenging task because of tumor's uneven and irregular shapes. In this paper, the authors propose an attention-based nested segmentation network, named DAU-Net. In total, two types of attention mechanisms are introduced to make the U-Net network focus on the key feature regions. The proposed network has a deep supervised encoder–decoder architecture and a redesigned dense skip connection. DAU-Net introduces an attention mechanism between convolutional blocks so that the features extracted at different levels can be merged with a task-related selection.Design/methodology/approachIn the coding layer, the authors designed a channel attention module. It marks the importance of each feature graph in the segmentation task. In the decoding layer, the authors designed a spatial attention module. It marks the importance of different regional features. And by fusing features at different scales in the same coding layer, the network can fully extract the detailed information of the original image and learn more tumor boundary information.FindingsTo verify the effectiveness of the DAU-Net, experiments were carried out on the BRATS 2018 brain tumor magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) database. The segmentation results show that the proposed method has a high accuracy, with a Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 89% in the complete tumor, which is an improvement of 8.04 and 4.02%, compared with fully convolutional network (FCN) and U-Net, respectively.Originality/valueThe experimental results show that the proposed method has good performance in the segmentation of brain tumors. The proposed method has potential clinical applicability.
