Background: Among the brain-related diseases, brain tumor segmentation on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans is one of the highly focused research domains in the medical community. Brain tumor segmentation is a very challenging task due to its asymmetric form and uncertain boundaries. This process segregates the tumor region into the active tumor, necrosis and edema from normal brain tissues such as white matter (WM), grey matter (GM), and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF). Introduction: The proposed paper analyzed the advancement of brain tumor segmentation from conventional image processing techniques, to deep learning through machine learning on MRI of human head scans. Method: State-of-the-art methods of these three techniques are investigated, and the merits and demerits are discussed. Results: The prime motivation of the paper is to instigate the young researchers towards the development of efficient brain tumor segmentation techniques using conventional and recent technologies. Conclusion: The proposed analysis concluded that the conventional and machine learning methods were mostly applied for brain tumor detection, whereas deep learning methods were good at tumor substructures segmentation.

Abstract IntroductionThe brain tumor is the growth of abnormal cells inside the brain. These cells can be grown into malignant or benign tumors. Segmentation of tumor from MRI images using image processing techniques started decades back. Image processing based brain tumor segmentation can be divided in to three categories conventional image processing methods, Machine Learning methods and Deep Learning methods. Conventional methods lacks the accuracy in segmentation due to complex spatial variation of tumor. Machine Learning methods stand as a good alternative to conventional methods. Methods like SVM, KNN, Fuzzy and a combination of either of these provide good accuracy with reasonable processing speed. The difficulty in processing the various feature extraction methods and maintain accuracy as per the medical standards still exist as a limitation for machine learning methods. In Deep Learning features are extracted automatically in various stages of the network and maintain accuracy as per the medical standards. Huge database requirement and high computational time is still poses a problem for deep learning. MethodTo overcome the limitations specified above we propose an unsupervised dual autoencoder with latent space optimization here. The model require only normal MRI images for its training thus reducing the huge tumor database requirement. With a set of normal class data, an autoencoder can reproduce the feature vector into an output layer. This trained autoencoder works well with normal data while it fails to reproduce an anomaly to the output layer. But a classical autoencoder suffer due to poor latent space optimization. The Latent space loss of classical autoencoder is reduced using an auxiliary encoder along with the feature optimization based on Singular value Decomposition (SVD). The patches used for training are not traditional square patches but we took both horizontal and vertical patches to keep both local and global appearance features on the training set. An Autoencoder is applied separately for learning both horizontal and vertical patches. While training a logistic sigmoid transfer function is used for both encoder and decoder parts. SGD optimizer is used for optimization with an initial learning rate of .001 and the maximum epochs used are 4000. The network is trained in MATLAB 2018a with a processor capacity of 3.7 GHz with NVIDIA GPU and 16 GB of RAM.ResultsThe results are obtained using a patch size of 16x64, 64x16 for horizontal and vertical patches respectively. In Glioma images tumor is not grown from a point rather it spreads randomly. Region filling and connectivity operations are performed to get the final tumor segmentation. Overall the method segments Meningioma better than Gliomas. Three evaluation metrics are considered to measure the performance of the proposed system such as Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC), Positive Predictive Value (PPV), and Sensitivity.ConclusionAn unsupervised method for the segmentation of brain tumor from MRI images is proposed here. The proposed dual autoencoder with SVD based feature optimization reduce the latent space loss in the classical autoencoder. The proposed method have advantages in computational efficiency, no need of huge database requirement and better accuracy than machine learning methods. The method is compared Machine Learning methods Like SVM, KNN and supervised deep learning methods like CNN and commentable results are obtained.

Brain Tumor Segmentation

A brain Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan of a single individual consists of several slices across the 3D anatomical view. Therefore, manual segmentation of brain tumors from magnetic resonance (MR) images is a challenging and time-consuming task. In addition, an automated brain tumor classification from an MRI scan is non-invasive so that it avoids biopsy and make the diagnosis process safer. Since the beginning of this millennia and late nineties, the effort of the research community to come-up with automatic brain tumor segmentation and classification method has been tremendous. As a result, there are ample literature on the area focusing on segmentation using region growing, traditional machine learning and deep learning methods. Similarly, a number of tasks have been performed in the area of brain tumor classification into their respective histological type, and an impressive performance results have been obtained. Considering state of-the-art methods and their performance, the purpose of this paper is to provide a comprehensive survey of three, recently proposed, major brain tumor segmentation and classification model techniques, namely, region growing, shallow machine learning and deep learning. The established works included in this survey also covers technical aspects such as the strengths and weaknesses of different approaches, pre- and post-processing techniques, feature extraction, datasets, and models’ performance evaluation metrics.

A brain tumor is a problem that threatens life and impedes the normal working of the human body. The brain tumor needs to be identified early for the proper diagnosis and effective treatment planning. Tumor segmentation from an MRI brain image is one of the most focused areas of the medical community, provided that MRI is non-invasive imaging. Brain tumor segmentation involves distinguishing abnormal brain tissue from normal brain tissue. This paper presents a systematic literature review of brain tumor segmentation strategies and the classification of abnormalities and normality in MRI images based on various deep learning techniques, interbreeding. It requires presentation and quantitative analysis, from standard segmentation and classification methods to the best class strategies.

Brain Tumor Segmentation

Quantitative analysis of the brain tumors provides valuable information for understanding the tumor characteristics and treatment planning better. The accurate segmentation of lesions requires more than one image modalities with varying contrasts. As a result, manual segmentation, which is arguably the most accurate segmentation method, would be impractical for more extensive studies. Deep learning has recently emerged as a solution for quantitative analysis due to its record-shattering performance. However, medical image analysis has its unique challenges. This paper presents a review of state-of-the-art deep learning methods for brain tumor segmentation, clearly highlighting their building blocks and various strategies. We end with a critical discussion of open challenges in medical image analysis.
