Improved Multiclass Brain Tumor Detection using Convolutional Neural Networks and Magnetic Resonance Imaging

Abstract

Recently, Deep learning algorithms, particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), have been applied extensively for image recognition and classification tasks, with successful results in the field of medicine, such as in medical image analysis. Radiologists have a hard time categorizing this lethal illness since brain tumors include a variety of tumor cells. Lately, methods based on computer-aided diagnostics claimed to employ magnetic resonance imaging to help with the diagnosis of brain cancers (MRI). Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are often used in medical image analysis, including the detection of brain cancers. This effort was motivated by the difficulty that physicians have in appropriately detecting brain tumors, particularly when they are in the early stages of brain bleeding. This proposed model categorized the brain image into four distinct classes: (Normal, Glioma, Meningioma, and Pituitary). The proposed CNN networks reach 95% of recall, 95.44% accuracy and 95.36% of F1-score
