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.

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 is the most important and versatile organ of the human body. One of the most deadly diseases that damage the brain is the accumulation of unwanted and deadly cells near the curvature of brain known as brain tumor. There are two types of brain tumor namely malignant and benign. Malignant is a cancerous tumor and benign is a non cancerous tumor. Primarily brain tumor grows in the brain tissue. The project uses MATLAB to develop a prediction system which uses original hospital brain MRI to predict the brain tumor. Project uses digital image processing to predict the brain tumor. The use of certain image mining algorithms helps in predicting the correct spot and area of brain tumor by image segmentation. The procedure starts with uploading MRI image of human brain, forward by the pre-processing of the image.

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.

In the current era of Medical Science, Image Processing is the most evolving and inspiring technique. This technique consolidates some noise removal functions, segmentation, and morphological activities which are the fundamental ideas of image processing. Initially preprocessing of an MRI image is done to ensure the image quality for further processing/output. Our paper portrays the methodology to extricate and diagnose the brain tumor with the help of an affected person’s MRI scan pictures of the brain. MRI pictures are taken into account to recognize and extricate the tumor from the brain with the aid of MATLAB software.

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.

Image processing is a technique to carry out certain operations on an image so as to obtain some helpful information from it i.e., an enhanced image would be more advantageous. It is a similar to that of signal processing where input would be the image and the output obtained through this processing would be attributes/characteristics corresponding to that image. Currently, Image processing is one among the trending technologies. It is definitely one significant study area in the fields of engineering and computer science. Medical images have a vital role in the diagnosis of disorders & for checking the accurate functioning of organs. Hence, this is an active research area where several methods are being used and developed in order to make diagnosis facile. This medicinal imaging technology gave the doctors an insight for diagnosis of internal parts of the body. Also it helped doctors in performing Minimally Invasive Surgery, more commonly called as the keyhole surgeries which is done by inserting long and thin instruments into the body through small incisions to reach the internal organs instead of traditional operation techniques. The brain is the utmost important internal organ in our body and tumors effecting it could be very critical and hazardous situation. The brain tumor is a soft intracranial mass made up by irregular growth of cells of the tissue in the brain or around the brain. MRI Imaging play a vital role in brain tumors for evaluation, diagnosis and treatment arrangement.

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%.

A brain tumor is an uncontrolled growth of abnormal brain tissue that can interfere with normal brain function. Although various methods have been developed for brain tumor classification, tumor detection and multiclass classification remain challenging due to the complex characteristics of the brain tumor. Brain tumor detection and classification are one of the most challenging and time-consuming tasks in the processing of medical images. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) is a visual imaging technique, which provides a information about the soft tissues of the human body, which helps identify the brain tumor. Proper diagnosis can prevent a patient's health to some extent. This paper presents a review of various detection and classification methods for brain tumor classification using image processing techniques.
