An automated brain tumor segmentation and detection have huge importance in the diagnostics of medical field as it renders information about functional structures in addition to the probable abnormal tissue required for surgical planning. However, it is still a problem due to low contrast and poorly-specified boundaries and accuracy issue. Hence, Refined Migrating Birds Optimization (RMBO) algorithm is introduced for automatic tumor segmentation that gets over the disadvantage of classical metaheuristic segmentation techniques. The RMBO helps in improving both migration and position update steps which includes three phases. First phase starts from Preprocessing, film artifacts and unnecessary areas (skull) of MRI images are eliminated with the help of enhanced tracking algorithm. Next and second phase being the procedure of eliminating the noises employing Anisotropic Filtering and contrast enhancement is carried out with the help of histogram equalization. Finally segmentation is performed employing RMBO. The novel algorithm operates on the image pixels information along with regions/neighborhood map to generate a contextual area where the merging is possible. With the RMBO algorithm, MRI of brain images are segmented and the results are analyzed through the comparison of the existing techniques viz., Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), Genetic algorithms.

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.

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.

Segmentation of an image is the partition or separation of the image into disjoint regions of related features. In clinical practice, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is used to differentiate pathologic tissues from normal tissues, especially for brain tumors. The main objective of this paper is to develop a system that can follow a medical technician way of work, considering his experience and knowledge. In this paper, a step by step methodology for the automatic MRI brain tumor segmentation and classification is presented. Initially acquired MRI brain images are preprocessed by the Gaussian filter. After preprocessing, initial segmentation is done by hierarchical topology preserving map (HTPM). From the resultant images, the features are extracted using gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) method, and the same are given as inputs to adaptive neuro fuzzy inference systems (ANFIS) for final segmentation and the classification of brain images into normal or abnormal. In case of abnormal, the MRI brain images are classified as benign subject (tumor without cancerous tissues) or malignant subject (tumor with cancerous tissues). Based on the analysis, it has been discovered that the overall accuracy of classification of our method is above 94%, and F1-score is about 1. The simulation results also show that the proposed approach is a valuable diagnosing technique for the physicians and radiologists to detect the brain tumors.

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. We propose a solution using gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture and an ensemble Support Vector Machine (SVM) structure.This manuscript per the authors focus on the effects of GLCM texture on brain tumor segmentation. The result is different from the application of the GLCM texture in other types of image processing.The experimental material was a dataset called BraTs2015. The segmented five different labels are normal brain, necrosis, edema, non-enhancing tumor, and enhancing tumor. The proposed model was verified with the Dice coefficient. The result demonstrated that this method has a better capacity and higher segmentation accuracy with a low computation cost.

Abstract With lot happening in the field of Deep Learning, classification of brain tumor is still a matter of concern. Brain tumor segmentation and classification using MRI scans has achieved lot of interest in the area of medical imaging. The emphasis still lies on developing automatic computer-aided system for early predictions and diagnosis. MRI of brain Tumors not only varies in shape but sometimes gives less contrasted details also. In this paper, we present a FastAI based Transfer Learning tumor classification in which pre-trained model with segmented features classifies tumor based on its learning. The proposed model with the technique of Deep learning applies ResNet152 as base model to extract features from the MRI brain images. With certain changes in the last 3 layers of ResNet152, 97% accuracy in Dataset-253, 96% accuracy in Dataset-205 is achieved. Models such as Resnet50, VGG16, ResNet34 and Basic CNN is also evaluated. The model improved from ResNet152 has provided improved results. The observations suggest that usage of Transfer Learning is effective when the Dataset is limited. The prepared model is effective and can be collaborated in computer-aided brain MR images Tumor classification.

<span>The segmented brain tissues from magnetic resonance images (MRI) always pose substantive challenges to the clinical researcher community, especially while making precise estimation of such tissues. In the recent years, advancements in deep learning techniques, more specifically in fully convolution neural networks (FCN) have yielded path breaking results in segmenting brain tumour tissues with pin-point accuracy and precision, much to the relief of clinical physicians and researchers alike. A new hybrid deep learning architecture combining SegNet and U-Net techniques to segment brain tissue is proposed here. Here, a skip connection of the concerned U-Net network was suitably explored. The results indicated optimal multi-scale information generated from the SegNet, which was further exploited to obtain precise tissue boundaries from the brain images. Further, in order to ensure that the segmentation method performed better in conjunction with precisely delineated contours, the output is incorporated as the level set layer in the deep learning network. The proposed method primarily focused on analysing brain tumor segmentation (BraTS) 2017 and BraTS 2018, dedicated datasets dealing with MRI brain tumour. The results clearly indicate better performance in segmenting brain tumours than existing ones.</span>

Brain tumors are the growth of abnormal cells or a mass in a brain. Numerous kinds of brain tumors were discovered, which need accurate and early detection techniques. Currently, most diagnosis and detection methods rely on the decision of neuro-specialists and radiologists to evaluate brain images, which may be time-consuming and cause human errors. This paper proposes a robust U-Net deep learning Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model that can classify if the subject has a tumor or not based on Brain Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) with acceptable accuracy for medical-grade application. The study built and trained the 3D U-Net CNN including encoding/decoding relationship architecture to perform the brain tumor segmentation because it requires fewer training images and provides more precise segmentation. The algorithm consists of three parts; the first part, the downsampling part, the bottleneck part, and the optimum part. The resultant semantic maps are inserted into the decoder fraction to obtain the full-resolution probability maps. The developed U-Net architecture has been applied on the MRI scan brain tumor segmentation dataset in MICCAI BraTS 2017. The results using Matlab-based toolbox indicate that the proposed architecture has been successfully evaluated and experienced for MRI datasets of brain tumor segmentation including 336 images as training data and 125 images for validation. This work demonstrated comparative performance and successful feasibility of implementing U-Net CNN architecture in an automated framework of brain tumor segmentations in Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) MR Slices. The developed U-Net CNN model succeeded in performing the brain tumor segmentation task to classify the input brain images into a tumor or not based on the MRI dataset.

This paper introduces a scheme for retrieving deep features to carry out the procedure of recognising brain tumors from MR image. Initially, the MR brain image is denoised through the Modified Decision Based Unsymmetric Trimmed Median Filter (MDBUTMF) after that the contrast of the image is improved through Contrast Limited Adaptive Histogram Equalization (CLAHE). Once the pre-processing task is completed, the next phase is to extract the feature. In order to acquire the features of pre-processed images, this article offers a feature extraction technique named Deep Weber Dominant Local Order Based Feature Generator (DWDLOBFG). Once the deep features are retrieved, the next stage is to separate the brain tumor. Improved Convolution Neural Network (ICNN) is used to achieve this procedure. To explore the efficiency of deep feature extraction and in-depth machine learning methods, four performance indicators were used: Sensitivity (SEN), Jaccard Index (JI), Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) and Positive Predictive Value (PPV). The investigational outputs illustrated that the DWDLOBFG and ICNN achieve best outputs than existing techniques.

MRI technique is widely used in the field of medicine because of its high spatial resolution, non-invasive characteristics, and soft tissue contrast. In this review article, a systematic study has been conducted to analyze the performance and issues of various techniques for brain tumor segmentation. Latest research on BTS in MRI with the higher resolution is utilized for the systematic review. The high-resolution images increase execution time of the classification, and accuracy is the other problem in BTS. Still, there is some research lacking in accuracy on the brain segmentation. Few researchers carried out the classification of different kinds of tissues in the brain images and also on the prediction on growth of tumor. Each method has specific technique to improve the performance of the BTS, and these methods are compared with one another in terms of result. Research comparison helps to understand the proposed method with their achieved results. Clustering algorithms such as K-means and FCM are generally used for segmentation, and GA, ANN, ANFIS, FCNN, SVM are commonly used as classifiers.
