Brain tumor detection in fmri images

Abstract

This paper proposes an algorithm that detects brain tumors on fMRI images. Brain tumor detection in early stages is very important for patients because the earlier a brain tumor is detected the higher the chances of survival of the patient are. FMRI is a method that is used to obtain detailed body images, for example also of the brain. These images are used by radiologist to diagnose the patient with a brain tumor if there is one in the images. This approach uses machine learning to detect brain tumors automatically and support doctors in their diagnosis.
