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.

Image segmentation plays a vital role in several medical imaging programs by assisting the delineation of physiological structures along with other parts. The objective of this research work is to segmentize human lung MRI (Medical resonance Imaging) images for early detection of cancer.Watershed Transform Technique is implemented as the Segmentation method in this work. Some comparative experiments using both directly applied watershed algorithm and after marking foreground and computed background segmentation methods show the improved lung segmentation accuracy in some image cases.

The classification of brain tumors is a difficult task in the field of medical image analysis. Improving algorithms and machine learning technology helps radiologists to easily diagnose the tumor without surgical intervention. In recent years, deep learning techniques have made excellent progress in the field of medical image processing and analysis. However, there are many difficulties in classifying brain tumors using magnetic resonance imaging; first, the difficulty of brain structure and the intertwining of tissues in it; and secondly, the difficulty of classifying brain tumors due to the high density nature of the brain. We propose a differential deep convolutional neural network model (differential deep-CNN) to classify different types of brain tumor, including abnormal and normal magnetic resonance (MR) images. Using differential operators in the differential deep-CNN architecture, we derived the additional differential feature maps in the original CNN feature maps. The derivation process led to an improvement in the performance of the proposed approach in accordance with the results of the evaluation parameters used. The advantage of the differential deep-CNN model is an analysis of a pixel directional pattern of images using contrast calculations and its high ability to classify a large database of images with high accuracy and without technical problems. Therefore, the proposed approach gives an excellent overall performance. To test and train the performance of this model, we used a dataset consisting of 25,000 brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images, which includes abnormal and normal images. The experimental results showed that the proposed model achieved an accuracy of 99.25%. This study demonstrates that the proposed differential deep-CNN model can be used to facilitate the automatic classification of brain tumors.

In the development of an image not only as a documentation of events. One area that requires image processing is in the field of medicine is radiology. In radiology there is a medical image required by doctors and researchers to be processed for patient analysis. One of the important problems in image processing and pattern recognition is image segmentation into homogeneous areas. Segmentation in medical images will result in a medical image with area boundaries that are important information for analysis. This research applies k-means algorithm to MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) image segmentation. The input image used is the image of MRI (brain and breast) has gone through the compression stage. This compression process is done with the aim of reducing memory usage but the critical information content of MRI image is still maintained. The image of the segmentation result is evaluated through performance test using GCE, VOI, MSE, and PSNR parameters.

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.
