In the field of medical physics, detection of brain tumor from computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MRI) scans is a difficult task due to complexity of the brain hence it is one of the top priority goals of many recent researches. In this article, we describe a new method that combines four different steps including smoothing, Sobel edge detection, connected component, and finally region growing algorithms for locating and extracting the various lesions in the brain. The computational algorithm of the proposed method was implemented using Insight Toolkit (ITK). The analysis results indicate that the proposed method automatically and efficiently detected the tumor region from the CT or MRI image of the brain. It is very clear for physicians to separate the abnormal from the normal surrounding tissue to get a real identification of related areas; improving quality and accuracy of diagnosis, which would help to increase success possibility by early detection of tumor as well as reducing surgical planning time. This is an important step in correctly calculating the dose in radiation therapy later.

Complicated Task

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.

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.

A brain tumor is one of the foremost reasons for the rise in mortality among children and adults. A brain tumor is a mass of tissue that propagates out of control of the normal forces that regulate growth inside the brain. A brain tumor appears when one type of cell changes from its normal characteristics and grows and multiplies abnormally. The unusual growth of cells within the brain or inside the skull, which can be cancerous or non-cancerous has been the reason for the death of adults in developed countries and children in under developing countries like Ethiopia. The studies have shown that the region growing algorithm initializes the seed point either manually or semi-manually which as a result affects the segmentation result. However, in this paper, we proposed an enhanced region-growing algorithm for the automatic seed point initialization. The proposed approach’s performance was compared with the state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms using the common dataset, BRATS2015. In the proposed approach, we applied a thresholding technique to strip the skull from each input brain image. After the skull is stripped the brain image is divided into 8 blocks. Then, for each block, we computed the mean intensities and from which the five blocks with maximum mean intensities were selected out of the eight blocks. Next, the five maximum mean intensities were used as a seed point for the region growing algorithm separately and obtained five different regions of interest (ROIs) for each skull stripped input brain image. The five ROIs generated using the proposed approach were evaluated using dice similarity score (DSS), intersection over union (IoU), and accuracy (Acc) against the ground truth (GT), and the best region of interest is selected as a final ROI. Finally, the final ROI was compared with different state-of-the-art deep learning algorithms and region-based segmentation algorithms in terms of DSS. Our proposed approach was validated in three different experimental setups. In the first experimental setup where 15 randomly selected brain images were used for testing and achieved a DSS value of 0.89. In the second and third experimental setups, the proposed approach scored a DSS value of 0.90 and 0.80 for 12 randomly selected and 800 brain images respectively. The average DSS value for the three experimental setups was 0.86.

In this paper, we discuss the classification of the brain tumor in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images using the U-Net model, then evaluate parameters that indicate the performance of the model. We also discuss the extraction of the tumor region from brain image and description of the tumor regarding its position and size. Here, we consider the case of Gliomas, one of the types of brain tumors, which occur in common and can be fatal depending on their position and growth. U-Net is a model of Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) which has U-shaped architecture. MRI employs a non-invasive technique and can very well provide soft-tissue contrast and hence, for the detection and description of the brain tumor, this imaging method can be beneficial. Manual delineation of tumors from brain MRI is laborious, time-consuming and can vary from expert to expert. Our work forms a computer aided technique which is relatively faster and reproducible, and the accuracy is very much on par with ground truth. The results of the work can be used for treatment planning and further processing related to storage or transmission of images.

Brain tumor is one of the major causes of death among other types of the cancer because Brain is a very sensitive, complex and central part of the body. Proper and timely diagnosis can prevent the life of a person to some extent. Therefore, in this paper we have introduced brain tumor detection system based on combining wavelet statistical texture features and recurrent neural network (RNN). Basically, the system consists of four phases such as (i) feature extraction (ii) feature selection (iii) classification and (iii) segmentation. First, noise removal is performed as the preprocessing step on the brain MR images. After that texture features (both the dominant run length and co-occurrence texture features) are extracted from these noise free MR images. The high number of features is reduced based on sparse principle component analysis (SPCA) approach. The next step is to classify the brain image using Recurrent Neural Network (RNN). After classification, proposed system extracts tumor region from MRI images using modified region growing segmentation algorithm (MRG). This technique has been tested against the datasets of different patients received from muthu neuro center hospital. The experimentation result proves that the proposed system achieves the better result compared to the existing approaches

The brain tumor segmentation from image is interesting and challenging in the field of image processing and pattern recognition. An early detection of a brain tumor region helps the patient to take the correct medicine and increase the rate of the survival.The brain tumor segmentation is a process of differentiating the abnormal tissues and normal tissues. most common types of brain tumors are Benign and Malignant tumors. In this paper, the Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) approach is used to cluster the abnormal cells region and normal cells region in the brain image. The possible noises are removed by employing the median filter and morphological function is applied to extract the possible tumor region. The true tumor region is extracted with the help of symbolic features. Finally, the proposed methods is tested on T2- weighted MR brain images

The brain tumor, the most common and aggressive disease, leads to a very shorter lifespan. Thus, planning treatments is a crucial step in improving a patient's quality of life. In general, several image techniques such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound have been used for assessing tumors in the prostate, breast, lung, brain, etc. Primarily, MRI images are applied to detect tumors in the brain during this work. The enormous amount of data produced by the MRI scan thwarts tumor vs. non-tumor manual classification at a particular time. Unfortunately, with a small number of images, it has certain limitations (i.e., precise quantitative measurements). Therefore, an automated classification system is necessary to avoid human mortality. The automatic categorization of brain tumors in the surrounding tumor region is a challenging task concerning space and structural variability. Four deep learning models: AlexNet, VGG16, GoogleNet, and RestNet50, are used in this comparative study to classify brain tumors. Based on accuracy, the results showed that RestNet50 is the best model with an accuracy of 95.8%, while AlexNet has the fast performance with a processing time of 1.2 seconds. In addition, a hardware parallel processing unit (GPU) is employed for real-time purposes, where AlexNet (the fastest model) has a processing time of only 8.3 msec.
