Abstract Background Brain tumor segmentation is a challenging problem in medical image processing and analysis. It is a very time-consuming and error-prone task. In order to reduce the burden on physicians and improve the segmentation accuracy, the computer-aided detection (CAD) systems need to be developed. Due to the powerful feature learning ability of the deep learning technology, many deep learning-based methods have been applied to the brain tumor segmentation CAD systems and achieved satisfactory accuracy. However, deep learning neural networks have high computational complexity, and the brain tumor segmentation process consumes significant time. Therefore, in order to achieve the high segmentation accuracy of brain tumors and obtain the segmentation results efficiently, it is very demanding to speed up the segmentation process of brain tumors. Results Compared with traditional computing platforms, the proposed FPGA accelerator has greatly improved the speed and the power consumption. Based on the BraTS19 and BraTS20 dataset, our FPGA-based brain tumor segmentation accelerator is 5.21 and 44.47 times faster than the TITAN V GPU and the Xeon CPU. In addition, by comparing energy efficiency, our design can achieve 11.22 and 82.33 times energy efficiency than GPU and CPU, respectively. Conclusion We quantize and retrain the neural network for brain tumor segmentation and merge batch normalization layers to reduce the parameter size and computational complexity. The FPGA-based brain tumor segmentation accelerator is designed to map the quantized neural network model. The accelerator can increase the segmentation speed and reduce the power consumption on the basis of ensuring high accuracy which provides a new direction for the automatic segmentation and remote diagnosis of brain tumors.

Abstract Segmentation of brain tumors is a daunting process comprising the delineation of heterogeneous cancerous tissues and diffuse types in anatomical representations of the brain. Deep learning techniques have recently made important strides in the segmentation of brain tumors. However, owing to the irregularity of the tumor, most of the deep learning-based segmentation techniques are not used directly for tumor detection. Although recent studies are capable of addressing the irregularity issue and retaining permutation invariance, many approaches struggle to catch the valuable high-dimensional local features of finer resolution. Inspired by the fuzzy learning methods and an analysis of the shortcomings of existing methods, an automated fuzzy neighborhood learning-based 3D segmentation technique has been proposed for the detection of cerebrum tumors in 3D images. In this technique, the fuzzy neighborhood function is deeply integrated with the proposed network architecture. This technique has been evaluated on BRATS 2013dataset. The simulation results show that the proposed brain tumor detection technique is superior to other methods in the diagnosis of brain tumors with the dice coefficient of 0.85 and the Jaccard index of 0.74.


Medical imaging is an emerging field in engineering. As traditional way of brain tumor analysis, MRI scanning is the way to identify brain tumor. The core drawback of manual MRI studies conducted by surgeons is getting manual visual errorswhich can lead toofa false identification of tumor boundaries. To avoid such human errors, ultra age engineering adopted deep learning as a new technique for brain tumor segmentation. Deep learning convolution network can be further developed by means of various deep learning models for better performance. Hence, we proposed a new deep learning algorithm development which can more efficiently identifies the types of brain tumors in terms of level of tumor like T1, T2, and T1ce etc. The proposed system can identify tumors using convolution neural network(CNN) which works with the proposed algorithm “Sculptor DeepCNet”. The proposed model can be used by surgeons to identify post-surgical remains (if any) of brain tumors and thus proposed research can be useful for ultra-age neural surgical image assessments. This paper discusses newly developed algorithm and its testing results.

Brain tumors are collections of abnormal tissues within the brain. The regular function of the brain may be affected as it grows within the region of the skull. Brain tumors are critical for improving treatment options and patient survival rates to prevent and treat them. The diagnosis of cancer utilizing manual approaches for numerous magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images is the most complex and time-consuming task. Brain tumor segmentation must be carried out automatically. A proposed strategy for brain tumor segmentation is developed in this paper. For this purpose, images are segmented based on region-based and edge-based. Brain tumor segmentation 2020 (BraTS2020) dataset is utilized in this study. A comparative analysis of the segmentation of images using the edge-based and region-based approach with U-Net with ResNet50 encoder, architecture is performed. The edge-based segmentation model performed better in all performance metrics compared to the region-based segmentation model and the edge-based model achieved the dice loss score of 0. 008768, IoU score of 0. 7542, f1 score of 0. 9870, the accuracy of 0. 9935, the precision of 0. 9852, recall of 0. 9888, and specificity of 0. 9951.

ABSTRACTTumor segmentation of magnetic resonance (MR) images is a critical step in providing objective measures of predicting aggressiveness and response to therapy in gliomas. It has valuable applications in diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment planning of brain tumors. The purpose of this work was to develop a fully automated deep learning method for brain tumor segmentation and survival prediction. Well curated brain tumor cases with multi-parametric MR Images from the BraTS2019 dataset were used. A three-group framework was implemented, with each group consisting of three 3D-Dense-UNets to segment whole tumor (WT), tumor core (TC) and enhancing tumor (ET). This method was implemented to decompose the complex multi-class segmentation problem into individual binary segmentation problems for each sub-component. Each group was trained using different approaches and loss functions. The output segmentations of a particular label from their respective networks from the 3 groups were ensembled and post-processed. For survival analysis, a linear regression model based on imaging texture features and wavelet texture features extracted from each of the segmented components was implemented. The networks were tested on the BraTS2019 validation dataset including 125 cases for the brain tumor segmentation task and 29 cases for the survival prediction task. The segmentation networks achieved average dice scores of 0.901, 0.844 and 0.801 for WT, TC and ET respectively. The survival prediction network achieved an accuracy score of 0.55 and mean squared error (MSE) of 119244. This method could be implemented as a robust tool to assist clinicians in primary brain tumor management and follow-up.

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.

AbstractBrain tumor localization and segmentation from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are hard and important tasks for several applications in the field of medical analysis. As each brain imaging modality gives unique and key details related to each part of the tumor, many recent approaches used four modalities T1, T1c, T2, and FLAIR. Although many of them obtained a promising segmentation result on the BRATS 2018 dataset, they suffer from a complex structure that needs more time to train and test. So, in this paper, to obtain a flexible and effective brain tumor segmentation system, first, we propose a preprocessing approach to work only on a small part of the image rather than the whole part of the image. This method leads to a decrease in computing time and overcomes the overfitting problems in a Cascade Deep Learning model. In the second step, as we are dealing with a smaller part of brain images in each slice, a simple and efficient Cascade Convolutional Neural Network (C-ConvNet/C-CNN) is proposed. This C-CNN model mines both local and global features in two different routes. Also, to improve the brain tumor segmentation accuracy compared with the state-of-the-art models, a novel Distance-Wise Attention (DWA) mechanism is introduced. The DWA mechanism considers the effect of the center location of the tumor and the brain inside the model. Comprehensive experiments are conducted on the BRATS 2018 dataset and show that the proposed model obtains competitive results: the proposed method achieves a mean whole tumor, enhancing tumor, and tumor core dice scores of 0.9203, 0.9113 and 0.8726 respectively. Other quantitative and qualitative assessments are presented and discussed.

Manual segmentation is time-consuming so we use a deep convolutional neural network to increase the performance is highly dependent on the operator&#039;s experience. <P> Methods: This paper proposed a fully automatic segmentation of brain tumors using deep convolutional neural networks. Further, it uses high-grade gliomas brain images from BRATS 2016 database. The suggested work achieve brain tumor segmentation using tensor flow, in which the anaconda frameworks are used to execute high-level mathematical functions. <P> Results: Hence, the research work segments brain tumors into four classes like edema, non-enhancing tumor, enhancing tumor and necrotic tumor. Brain tumor segmentation needs to separate healthy tissues from tumor regions such as advancing tumor, necrotic core, and surrounding edema. We have presented a process to segment 3D MRI image of a brain tumor into healthy and area where the tumor is present, including their separate sub-areas. We have applied an SVM based classification. Categorization is complete using a soft-margin SVM classifier. <P> Conclusion: We are using deep convolutional neural networks for presenting the brain tumor segmentation. Outcomes of the BRATS 2016 online judgment method assure us to increase the performance, accuracy, and speed with our best model. The fuzzy c-mean algorithm provides better accuracy and train on the SVM based classifier. We can achieve the finest performance and accuracy by using the novel two-pathway architecture i.e. encoder and decoder as well as the modeling local label that depends on stacking two CNN's
