Automated evaluation and parameter estimation of brain tumor using deep learning techniques

The identification and region extraction of brain tumors is an essential aspect of clinical image analysis and the diagnosis of brain-related illnesses. The precise and accurate identification of tumors from MRI images is particularly significant in the effective formulating of treatments such as surgery, radiation therapy, and drug therapy. The challenge of segmentation stems from the variability in the size, location, and appearance of tumors, making it a complex task. Various segmentation and classification techniques have been created and designed for brain tumor diagnosis; however, these traditional techniques are time-consuming and subjective and require expertise in image processing. In recent times, deep learning-based approaches have shown promising results in brain tumor segmentation. This research aims to develop a brain tumor segmentation and classification model that enables medical professionals to locate and measure tumors accurately and develop effective treatment and rehabilitation strategies. The process involves segmenting the tumor and further classifying it into its two major types. The parameter estimation from the segmented output provides an insight that is pivotal in the evaluation of MRI brain tumors. With further research and development, deep learning-based segmentation and classification could become an important tool for accurate detection and evaluation of brain tumors. The development of deep learning-based segmentation and classification methods can greatly benefit the medical community, and according to the finding from the experiment, it is shown that the proposed framework excels in brain tumor segmentation and classification with an accuracy of 99.3%.
