Manual segmentation of brain tumor is not only a tedious task that may bring human mistakes. An automatic segmentation gives results faster, and it extends the survival rate with an earlier treatment plan. So, an automatic brain tumor segmentation model, modified inception module based U-Net (IMU-Net) proposed. It takes Magnetic resonance (MR) images from the BRATS 2017 training dataset with four modalities (FLAIR, T1, T1ce, and T2). The concatenation of two series 3×3 kernels, one 5×5, and one 1×1 convolution kernels are utilized to extract the whole tumor (WT), core tumor (CT), and enhance tumor (ET). The modified inception module (IM) collects all the relevant features and provides better segmentation results. The proposed deep learning model contains 40 convolution layers and utilizes intensity normalization and data augmentation operation for further improvement. It achieved the mean dice similarity coefficient (DSC) of 0.90, 0.77, 0.74, and the mean Intersection over Union (IOU) of 0.79, 0.70, 0.70 for WT, CT, and ET during the evaluation.

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.

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 Impact

Abstract Since magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has superior soft tissue contrast, contouring (brain) tumor accurately by MRI images is essential in medical image processing. Segmenting tumor accurately is immensely challenging, since tumor and normal tissues are often inextricably intertwined in the brain. It is also extremely time consuming manually. Late deep learning techniques start to show reasonable success in brain tumor segmentation automatically. The purpose of this study is to develop a new region-ofinterest-aided (ROI-aided) deep learning technique for automatic brain tumor MRI segmentation. The method consists of two major steps. Step one is to use a 2D network with U-Net architecture to localize the tumor ROI, which is to reduce the impact of normal tissue’s disturbance. Then a 3D U-Net is performed in step 2 for tumor segmentation within identified ROI. The proposed method is validated on MICCAI BraTS 2015 Challenge with 220 high Gliomas grade (HGG) and 54 low Gliomas grade (LGG) patients’ data. The Dice similarity coefficient and the Hausdorff distance between the manual tumor contour and that segmented by the proposed method are 0.876 ±0.068 and 3.594±1.347 mm, respectively. These numbers are indications that our proposed method is an effective ROI-aided deep learning strategy for brain MRI tumor segmentation, and a valid and useful tool in medical image processing.

In the past decade, there has been a remarkable evolution of convolutional neural networks (CNN) for biomedical image processing. These improvements are inculcated in the basic deep learning-based models for computer-aided detection and prognosis of various ailments. But implementation of these CNN based networks is highly dependent on large data in case of supervised learning processes. This is needed to tackle overfitting issues which is a major concern in supervised techniques. Overfitting refers to the phenomenon when a network starts learning specific patterns of the input such that it fits well on the training data but leads to poor generalization abilities on unseen data. The accessibility of enormous quantity of data limits the field of medical domain research. This paper focuses on utility of data augmentation (DA) techniques, which is a well-recognized solution to the problem of limited data. The experiments were performed on the Brain Tumor Segmentation (BraTS) dataset which is available online. The results signify that different DA approaches have upgraded the accuracies for segmenting brain tumor boundaries using CNN based model.

Abstract The tumor detection is major challenging task in brain tumor quantitative evaluation. In recent years, owing to non-invasive and strong soft tissue comparison, Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has gained great interest. MRI is a commonly used image modality technique to locate brain tumors. An immense amount of data is produced by the MRI. Heterogeneity, isointense and hypointense tumor properties restrict manual segmentation in a fair period of time, thus restricting the use of reliable quantitative measures in clinical practice. In the clinical practice manual segmentation task is quite time consuming and their performance is highly depended on the operator’s experience. Accurate and automated tumor segmentation techniques are also needed; however, the severe spatial and structural heterogeneity of brain tumors makes automatic segmentation a difficult job. This paper proposes fully automatic segmentation of brain tumors using encoder-decoder based convolutional neural networks. The paper focuses on well-known semantic segmentation deep neural networks i.e., UNET and SEGNET for segmenting tumors from Brain MRI images. The networks are trained and tested using freely accessible standard dataset, with Dice Similarity Coefficient (DSC) as metric for whole predicted image i.e., including tumor and background. UNET’s average DSC on test dataset is 0.76 whereas for SEGNET we got average DSC 0.67. The evaluation of results proves that UNET is having better performance than SEGNET.
