Brain tumor is a life-threatening disease. Brain tumor is formed by the abnormal growth of cells inside and around the brain. Identification of the size and type of tumor is necessary for deciding the course of treatment of the patient. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is one of the methods for detection of tumor in the brain. The classification of MR Images is a difficult task due to variety and complexity of brain tumors. Various classification techniques have been identified for brain MRI tumor images. This paper reviews some of these recent classification techniques.

Brain tumor is one of the leading disease in the world. So automated identification and classification of tumors are important for diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)is widely used modality for imaging brain. Brain tumor classification refers to classify the brain MR images as normal or abnormal, benign or malignant, low grade or high grade or types. This paper reviews various techniques used for the classification of brain tumors from MR images. Brain tumor classification can be divided into three phases as preprocessing, feature extraction and classification. As segmentation is not mandatory for classification, hence resides in the first phase. The feature extraction phase also contains feature reduction. DWT is efficient for both preprocessing and feature extraction. Texture analysis based on GLCM gives better features for classification where PCA reduces the feature vector maintaining the accuracy of classification of brain MRI. Shape features are important where segmentation has already been performed. The use of SVM along with appropriate kernel techniques can help in classifying the brain tumors from MRI. High accuracy has been achieved to classify brain MRI as normal or abnormal, benign or malignant and low grade or high grade. But classifying the tumors into more particular types is more challenging.

A brain tumor is a mass of abnormal cells in the brain. Brain tumors can be benign or malignant. Conventional diagnosis of a brain tumor by the radiologist, is done by examining a set of images produced by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Many computer-aided detection (CAD) systems have been developed in order to help the radiologist reach his goal of correctly classifying the MRI image. Convolutional neural networks (CNNs) have been widely used in the classification of medical images. This paper presents a novel CAD technique for the classification of brain tumors in MRI images The proposed system extracts features from the brain MRI images by utilizing the strong energy compactness property exhibited by the Discrete Wavelet transform (DWT). The Wavelet features are then applied to a CNN to classify the input MRI image. Experimental results indicate that the proposed approach outperforms other commonly used methods and gives an overall accuracy of 98.5%.

At present, processing of medical images is a developing and important field. It includes many different types of imaging methods. Some of them are Computed Tomography scans (CT scans), X-rays and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) etc. These technologies allow us to detect even the smallest defects in the human body. Abnormal growth of tissues in the brain which affect proper brain functions is considered as a brain tumor. The main goal of medical image processing is to identify accurate and meaningful information using images with the minimum error possible. MRI is mainly used to get images of the human body and cancerous tissues because of its high resolution and better quality images compared with other imaging technologies. Brain tumor identifications through MRI images is a difficult task because of the complexity of the brain. MRI images can be processed and the brain tumor can be segmented. These tumors can be segmented using various image segmentation techniques. The process of identifying brain tumors through MRI images can be categorized into four different sections; pre-processing, image segmentation, feature extraction and image classification.

Meningiomas are the most prevalent benign intracranial life-threatening brain tumors, with a life expectancy of a few months in the later stages, so this type of tumor in the brain image should be recognized and detected efficiently. The source of meningiomas is unknown. Radiation exposure, particularly during childhood, is the sole recognized environmental risk factor for meningiomas. The imaging technique of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used to detect most tumor forms as it is a non-invasive and painless method. This study introduces a CNN-HHO integrated automated identification model, which makes use of SeaLion optimization methods for improving overall network optimization. In addition to these techniques, various CNN models such as Resnet, VGG, and DenseNet have been utilized to give an overall influence of CNN with SeaLion in each methodology. Each model is tested on our benchmark dataset for accuracy, specificity, dice coefficient, MCC, and sensitivity, with DenseNet outperforming the other models with a precision of 98%. The proposed methods outperform existing alternatives in the detection of brain tumors, according to the existing experimental findings.

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.


Automated brain tumor identification and classification is still an open problem for research in the medical image processing domain. Brain tumor is a bunch of unwanted cells that develop in the brain. This growth of a tumor takes up space within skull and affects the normal functioning of brain. Automated segmentation and detection of brain tumors are important in MRI scan analysis as it provides information about neural architecture of brain and also about abnormal tissues that are extremely necessary to identify appropriate surgical plan. Automating this process is a challenging task as tumor tissues show high diversity in appearance with different patients and also in many cases they tend to appear very similar to the normal tissues. Effective extraction of features that represent the tumor in brain image is the key for better classification. In this paper, we propose a hybrid feature extraction process. In this process, we combine the local and global features of the brain MRI using first by Discrete Wavelet Transformation and then using texture based statistical features by computing Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix. The extracted combined features are used to construct decision tree for classification of brain tumors in to benign or malignant class.

The brain is the most crucial part of our human body which acts as central coordinating system for all the controlling and all regular functions of our body. The continuous growth of abnormal cells which creates certain mass of tissue is called as tumor. Tumor in the brain can be either formed inside the brain or gets into brain after formed at other part. But there is no clear information regarding the formation of brain tumor till date. Though the formation tumor in brain is not common or regular but the mortality rate of the infected people is very high because the brain is major part of body. So, it is very important get the treatment at the early stages of brain tumor but there is no direct procedure for detection and classification of tumor in the very first step of diagnosis. In actual medical diagnosis, mri images alone can’t be able to determine the detected tumor as either the cancerous or non-cancerous. But the tumor may be sometimes danger to life or may not be danger to life. Tumor inside the brain can be of either the benign(non- cancerous) or the malignant(cancerous). So, we need to detect the tumor from the MRI images through image processing and then to classify the detected tumor as it belongs to either the benign or malignant tumor. We are going to get the brain mri images as our dataset for our proposed method but the images we got may have the noise. So, we need to preprocess the image using the image preprocessing techniques. We are going to use several algorithms like thresholding, clustering to make the detection of tumor by using the image processing and image segmentation and after the detection of tumor we are going do feature extraction. This step involves the extraction of detected objects features using DWT. This extracted features are given as input to classifier algorithms like SVM’s and CNN after reduction of features using the PCA.

The brain tumors are by far the most severe and violent disease, contributing to the highest degree of a very low life expectancy. Therefore, recovery preparation is a crucial step in improving patient quality of life. In general , different imaging techniques such as computed tomography ( CT), magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) and ultrasound imaging have been used to examine the tumor in the brain, lung , liver, breast , prostate ... etc. MRI images are especially used in this research to diagnose tumor within the brain with classification results. The massive amount of data produced by the MRI scan, therefore, destroys the manual classification of tumor vs. non-tumor in a given period. However for a limited number of images, it is presented with some constraint that is precise quantitative measurements. Consequently, a trustworthy and automated classification scheme is important for preventing human death rates. The automatic classification of brain tumors is a very challenging task in broad spatial and structural heterogeneity of the surrounding brain tumor area. Automatic brain tumor identification is suggested in this research by the use of the classification with Deep Belief Network (DBN). Experimental results show that the DBN archive rate with low complexity seems to be 97 % accurate compared to all other state of the art methods.


Classification of brain tumor for medical applications is considered as an important constraint in computer-aided diagnosis (CAD). In this paper, we study the classification of brain tumor by considering the constraint as a classification problem in order to segregate the tumors among pituitary tumors, gliomatumorand meningioma tumor. This method adopts deep learning principle to extract the brain features from the MRI images. In this study, Recurrent Neural Network is used to classify the extracted features from brain. The experiments are carried out in terms of three fold crossvalidation process over MRI brain image dataset. The results show that the proposed RNN classifier classifies the brain tumors effectively with 98% of mean classification accuracy than other existing methods.

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.
