Smart hospitals are important components of smart cities. An intelligent medical system for brain tumor segmentation is required to construct smart hospitals. To achieve intelligent brain tumor segmentation, morphological variety and serious category imbalance must be managed effectively. Conventional deep neural networks have difficulty in predicting high-accuracy segmentation images due to these issues. To solve these problems, we propose using multimodal brain tumor images combined with the UNET and LSTM models to construct a new network structure with a mixed loss function to solve sample imbalance and describe an intelligent segmentation process to identify brain tumors. To verify the practicability of this algorithm, we used the open source Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge dataset to train and verify the proposed network. We obtained DSCs of 0.91, 0.82, and 0.80; sensitivities of 0.93, 0.85, and 0.82; and specificities of 0.99, 0.99, and 0.98 in three tumor regions, including the whole tumor ( WT ), tumor core ( TC ), and enhanced tumor ( ET ). We also compared the results of the proposed network with those of other brain tumor segmentation methods, and the results showed that the proposed algorithm could segment different tumor lesions more accurately, highlighting its potential application value in the clinical diagnosis of brain tumors.

Background: Variations of image segmentation techniques, particularly those used for Brain MRI segmentation, vary in complexity from basic standard Fuzzy C-means (FCM) to more complex and enhanced FCM techniques. Objective: In this paper, a comprehensive review is presented on all thirteen variations of FCM segmentation techniques. In the review process, the concentration is on the use of FCM segmentation techniques for brain tumors. Brain tumor segmentation is a vital step in the process of automatically diagnosing brain tumors. Unlike segmentation of other types of images, brain tumor segmentation is a very challenging task due to the variations in brain anatomy. The low contrast of brain images further complicates this process. Early diagnosis of brain tumors is indeed beneficial to patients, doctors, and medical providers. Results: FCM segmentation works on images obtained from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanners, requiring minor modifications to hospital operations to early diagnose tumors as most, if not all, hospitals rely on MRI machines for brain imaging. In this paper, we critically review and summarize FCM based techniques for brain MRI segmentation.

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.

Segmentation Methods

Among the currently proposed brain segmentation methods, brain tumor segmentation methods based on traditional image processing and machine learning are not ideal enough. Therefore, deep learning-based brain segmentation methods are widely used. In the brain tumor segmentation method based on deep learning, the convolutional network model has a good brain segmentation effect. The deep convolutional network model has the problems of a large number of parameters and large loss of information in the encoding and decoding process. This paper proposes a deep convolutional neural network fusion support vector machine algorithm (DCNN-F-SVM). The proposed brain tumor segmentation model is mainly divided into three stages. In the first stage, a deep convolutional neural network is trained to learn the mapping from image space to tumor marker space. In the second stage, the predicted labels obtained from the deep convolutional neural network training are input into the integrated support vector machine classifier together with the test images. In the third stage, a deep convolutional neural network and an integrated support vector machine are connected in series to train a deep classifier. Run each model on the BraTS dataset and the self-made dataset to segment brain tumors. The segmentation results show that the performance of the proposed model is significantly better than the deep convolutional neural network and the integrated SVM classifier.

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.

Automatic segmentation of brain tumors from multi-modalities magnetic resonance image data has the potential to enable preoperative planning and intraoperative volume measurement. Recent advances in deep convolutional neural network technology have opened up an opportunity to achieve end-to-end segmenting the brain tumor areas. However, the medical image data used in brain tumor segmentation are relatively scarce and the appearance of brain tumors is varied, so that it is difficult to find a learnable pattern to directly describe tumor regions. In this paper, we propose a novel cross-modalities interactive feature learning framework to segment brain tumors from the multi-modalities data. The core idea is that the multi-modality MR data contain rich patterns of the normal brain regions, which can be easily captured and can be potentially used to detect the non-normal brain regions, i.e., brain tumor regions. The proposed multi-modalities interactive feature learning framework consists of two modules: cross-modality feature extracting module and attention guided feature fusing module, which aim at exploring the rich patterns cross multi-modalities and guiding the interacting and the fusing process for the rich features from different modalities. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on the BraTS 2018 benchmark, which show that the proposed cross-modality feature learning framework can effectively improve the brain tumor segmentation performance when compared with the baseline methods and state-of-the-art methods.

This paper presents an approach for brain tumor segmentation based on deep neural networks. The paper proposes to utilize U-Net as an architecture of the approach to capture the fine and soars information from input images. Especially, to train the network, instead of using commonly used cross-entropy loss, dice loss or both, in this study, we propose to employ a new loss function including Level set loss and Dice loss function. The level set loss is inspired from Mumford-Shah functional for unsupervised task. Meanwhile, the Dice loss function measures the similarity between the predicted mask and desired mask. The proposed approach is then applied to segment brain tumor from MRI images as well as evaluated and compared with other approaches on a dataset of nearly 4000 brain MRI scans. Experiment results show that the proposed approach achieves high performance in terms of Dice coefficient and Intersection over Union (IoU) scores.

A New Technique

Medical imaging is an emerging field in engineering. As traditional way of brain tumor analysis, MRI scanning is the way to identify brain tumor. The core drawback of manual MRI studies conducted by surgeons is getting manual visual errorswhich can lead toofa false identification of tumor boundaries. To avoid such human errors, ultra age engineering adopted deep learning as a new technique for brain tumor segmentation. Deep learning convolution network can be further developed by means of various deep learning models for better performance. Hence, we proposed a new deep learning algorithm development which can more efficiently identifies the types of brain tumors in terms of level of tumor like T1, T2, and T1ce etc. The proposed system can identify tumors using convolution neural network(CNN) which works with the proposed algorithm “Sculptor DeepCNet”. The proposed model can be used by surgeons to identify post-surgical remains (if any) of brain tumors and thus proposed research can be useful for ultra-age neural surgical image assessments. This paper discusses newly developed algorithm and its testing results.
