Brain Tumor Detection Using Deep Neural Network and Machine Learning Algorithm

Abstract

Brain tumor can be classified into two types: benign and malignant. Timely and prompt disease detection and treatment plan leads to improved quality of life and increased life expectancy in these patients. One of the most practical and important methods is to use Deep Neural Network (DNN). In this paper, a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) has been used to detect a tumor through brain Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. Images were first applied to the CNN. The accuracy of Softmax Fully Connected layer used to classify images obtained 98.67%. Also, the accuracy of the CNN is obtained with the Radial Basis Function (RBF) classifier 97.34% and the Decision Tree (DT) classifier, is 94.24%. In addition to the accuracy criterion, we use the benchmarks of Sensitivity, Specificity and Precision evaluate network performance. According to the results obtained from the categorizers, the Softmax classifier has the best accuracy in the CNN according to the results obtained from network accuracy on the image testing. This is a new method based on the combination of feature extraction techniques with the CNN for tumor detection from brain images. The method proposed accuracy 99.12% on the test data. Due to the importance of the diagnosis given by the physician, the accuracy of the doctors help in diagnosing the tumor and treating the patient increased.
