Abstract Background Brain tumors, abnormal cells growing in the human brain,are common neurological diseases that are extremely harmful to human health. Malignant brain tumors can lead to high mortality. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)༌a typical noninvasive imaging technology, can produce high-quality brain images without damage and skull artifacts, as well as provide comprehensive information to facilitate the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors. Additionally༌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. Methods We propose a solution using gray-level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM) texture and an ensemble Support Vector Machine (SVM) structure. We focus on the effects of GLCM texture on brain tumor segmentation. First, 112 GLCM features for each voxel were extracted. Next, these features were ranked using the SVM-recursive feature elimination (SVM-RFE) method. Based on the sorting results, we found that when the number of features was 60, the value of the Dice similarity coefficient (DSC) tended to be flat. The GLCM texture features maximal correlation coefficient, information measure of correlation, Angular Second Moment, sum of squares, difference variance, contrast, and inverse difference moment were important for segmentation. Finally, we selected the top 60 grayscale features and constructed an ensemble SVM classifier to separate the abnormal mass of tissue from normal brain tissues. Results The experimental material was a dataset called BraTs2015. The proposed model was verified with the Dice coefficient. For low-grade tumors, we obtained a 91.2% average Dice coefficient for segmenting the complete tumor region. For high-grade tumors, the average was slightly higher at 92.4%. Conclusion Our results demonstrated that this method has a better capacity and higher segmentation accuracy with a low computation cost.

In the field of medical imaging, the segmentation and classification of brain tumors is a complex and important area of studies because it is essential for the intention of early tumor diagnosing and treatment of brain tumors and other neurologic complaints. Earlier segmentation methods require huge number of iterations, longer time and a reduced accuracy. Therefore, this article proposes a multi-stage strategy whereby tumor segmentation and classification can be accurately performed with lower error rate. The proposed system incorporates three phases such as prediction, segmentation along with morphological operations to solve the discontinuities. The proposed segmentation method is named as Self Organisation Based Segmentation (SOBS) method. It is compared with some of the deformable models in literature. Next Use the Gray Level Cooccurrence Matrix to extract features. Finally Use the Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix to extract features and classify them into normal or abnormal. If it is classified as abnormal, then again classify into glioma or meningioma. The performance metrics such as accuracy, PSNR and MSE are used for scrutinize the performance of these methods. From the investigational outcomes, the classification accuracy was found to be very high using the proposed segmentation method SOBS with the Random Forest (RF) Classifier.

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.

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.

Brain tumors are a group of cancers that originate from different cells of the central nervous system or cancers of other tissues in the brain. Excessive cell growth in the brain is called a tumor. Tumor cells need food and blood to survive. Growth and proliferation of tumor cells in the cranial space, cause strain inside the brain and thus disrupt vital human structures. Therefore, diagnosis in the early stages of brain tumors is crucial. This study introduces a new optimized method for early diagnosis of the brain tumor. The method has five main parts of noise reduction, tumor segmentation, morphology, feature extraction based on wavelet and gray-level co-occurrence matrix, and classification based on an optimized deep belief network. For optimizing the classifier network, an enhanced version of the moth search algorithm is utilized. Simulation results are applied to three different datasets, FLAIR, T1, and T2, and the accuracy results of the presented method are compared with two other metaheuristics, particle swarm optimization and Bat algorithms. The final results showed that the presented technique has good achievements toward the compared methods.

Automated detection of the abnormalities in brain image analysis is very important and it is prerequisite for planning and treatment of the disease. Computed tomography scan is an imaging technique used for studying brain images. Classification of brain images is important in order to distinguish between normal brain images and those having the abnormalities in brain like hematomas, tumor, edema, concussion etc. The proposed automated method identifies the abnormalities in brain CT images and classifies them using support vector machine. The proposed method consists of three important phases, First phase is preprocessing, second phase consists of feature extraction and final phase is classification. In the first phase preprocessing is performed on brain CT images to remove artifacts and noise. In second phase features are extracted from brain CT images using gray level co-occurrence matrix (GLCM). In the final stage, extracted features are fed as input to SVM classifier with different kernel functions that classifies the images into normal and abnormal with different accuracy levels.

The Brain

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.

Automatic identification of tumor in human brain is a challenging task due to its varying in size, shape and location. This paper proposes a multi-modality technique for the segmentation of brain tumor its classification to differentiate easily between cancerous and non-cancerous tumor from MR images of the human brain. To achieve this, different segmentation and classification techniques have been applied. The important stages involved in the proposed technique are pre-processing, segmentation and classification stages. The pre-processing step is carried out using wavelet transform, segmentation stage is done by applying modified Chan-Vese model and finally the extracted tumor can be classified as benign or malignant using Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier. The experimental results on MR images prove that, the proposed method is efficient and robust to noise. Moreover, the comparisons with existing techniques also show that, the proposed method takes less computational time and classify the tumors very accuratel

Background: Glioma is one of the most common and aggressive primary brain tumors that endanger human health. Tumors segmentation is a key step in assisting the diagnosis and treatment of cancer disease. However, it is a relatively challenging task to precisely segment tumors considering characteristics of brain tumors and the device noise. Recently, with the breakthrough development of deep learning, brain tumor segmentation methods based on fully convolutional neural network (FCN) have illuminated brilliant performance and attracted more and more attention. Methods: In this work, we propose a novel FCN based network called SDResU-Net for brain tumor segmentation, which simultaneously embeds dilated convolution and separable convolution into residual U-Net architecture. SDResU-Net introduces dilated block into a residual U-Net architecture, which largely expends the receptive field and gains better local and global feature descriptions capacity. Meanwhile, to fully utilize the channel and region information of MRI brain images, we separate the internal and inter-slice structures of the improved residual U-Net by employing separable convolution operator. The proposed SDResU-Net captures more pixel-level details and spatial information, which provides a considerable alternative for the automatic and accurate segmentation of brain tumors. Results and Conclusion: The proposed SDResU-Net is extensively evaluated on two public MRI brain image datasets, i.e., BraTS 2017 and BraTS 2018. Compared with its counterparts and stateof- the-arts, SDResU-Net gains superior performance on both datasets, showing its effectiveness. In addition, cross-validation results on two datasets illuminate its satisfying generalization ability.
