Abstract

In the contemporary era, the doctor-to-patient ratio is notably insufficient. In the year 2020, an approximate 251,329 individuals globally succumbed to primary cancerous brain and central nervous system tumors. Analyzing the vast array of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images and manually identifying a brain tumor is an arduous and error-prone endeavor. Timely detection of tumors holds paramount significance in preserving a patient's life. However, this becomes a time-consuming process when dealing with extensive datasets. The visual resemblance between normal tissue and brain tumor cells complicates the segmentation of tumor regions, posing a formidable challenge. Consequently, there arises a crucial need for a highly accurate automatic tumor detection method. In this study, we introduce a novel algorithm designed for the classification of brain tumors using 2D Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. Our approach involves the utilization of a convolutional neural network (CNN) in conjunction with a support vector machine (SVM). To ensure the robustness of our model, we curated a diverse dataset encompassing MRI images featuring varying tumor sizes, locations, shapes, and intensity levels. The classification process involves the application of the CNN model, followed by classification using the SVM classifier. The implementation of our proposed method is carried out using the "TensorFlow" and "Keras" libraries in the "Python" programming language, chosen for its efficiency in facilitating rapid and effective computational tasks. During our research endeavors, the model achieved an impressive training accuracy of 99.55% and a commendable testing accuracy of 98.47%. These results surpass the previously achieved state-of-the-art outcomes in this field. Our system enables doctors to precisely identify brain tumors in MRI images, significantly reducing the time required for diagnosis. This, in turn, accelerates the treatment process, ensuring a faster response to medical needs.

Full Article/Conclusion

The main objective is to devise a highly efficient and selfoperating brain tumor classification system characterized by elevated training and testing accuracy, a robust resistance to overfitting, and low computational complexity. Our model has successfully met all of these conditions. In our approach, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are employed for feature extraction, while Support Vector Machines (SVMs) are utilized for the classification task. By combining MRI and CT scan images, our model gains increased resilience. CNNs, specifically, excel in independently acquiring complex features from multimodal MRI images, capturing details from both normal brain tissues and tumor tissues for a comprehensive analysis. This methodology aims to contribute to the advancement of accurate and efficient brain tumor classification systems, ensuring optimal performance across various metrics. In our work, first we use CNN for feature extraction then we use SVM for classification in this model we are not using optimizer so the weights are not updated. Here we got the training accuracy 100% and testing accuracy 95.11%. The problem of this model is overfitting. Further for better result and remove the problem we use Adam optimizer for back propagation and updating the weight. Here we got the output training accuracy to 99.51%, validation accuracy 97.62 and testing accuracy 97.55. Further for better result we use RMSProp optimizer and we got the output training accuracy to 99.55%, validation accuracy 97.28 and testing accuracy 97.30. We required more accuracy so we further change some parameter, in previous model we are not using any padding so by apply convolution filter image size is reduced, in the previous model we used 32,64,128,256 convolution filter. In the final model we used 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 convolution filter and all of the convolution filter we used zero padding then image size is not reduced. We employed the RMSProp optimizer for backpropagation, achieving significant success in training our model. With a dataset consisting of 2937 images for training and 327 images for testing, and employing a 20-epoch training procedure with a runtime of 285 milliseconds per step, we attained impressive results. Our model demonstrated exceptional performance with a accuracy in training is 99.55%, accuracy in validation is 98.30%, and accuracy in testing is 98.47%. Looking ahead, our future endeavors involve transitioning to 3D brain images, aiming to enhance the efficiency of brain tumor classification and segmentation. We aim to go beyond merely detecting tumors, striving to precisely outline their boundaries and forecast their dimensions for enhanced accuracy. Undoubtedly, delving into this ambitious endeavor will enhance our grasp of brain pathologies and elevate diagnostic capacities within the realm of medical imaging.
