Dual-feature cross-fusion network for precise brain tumor classification: a neurocomputational approach.
Brain tumors represent a significant neurological challenge, affecting individuals across all age groups. Accurate and timely diagnosis of tumor types is critical for effective treatment planning. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) remains a primary diagnostic modality due to its non-invasive nature and ability to provide detailed brain imaging. However, traditional tumor classification relies on expert interpretation, which is time-consuming and prone to subjectivity. This study proposes a novel deep learning architecture, the Dual-Feature Cross-Fusion Network (DF-CFN), for the automated classification of brain tumors using MRI data. The model integrates ConvNeXt for capturing global contextual features and a shallow CNN combined with Feature Channel Attention Network (FcaNet) for extracting local features. These are fused through a cross-feature fusion mechanism for improved classification. The model is trained and validated using a Kaggle dataset encompassing four tumor classes (glioma, meningioma, pituitary and non-tumor), achieving an accuracy of 99.33%. Its generalizability is further confirmed using the FigShare dataset, yielding 99.22% accuracy. Comparative analyses with baseline and recent models validate the superiority of DF-CFN in terms of precision and robustness. This approach demonstrates strong potential for assisting clinicians in reliable brain tumor classification, thereby improving diagnostic efficiency and reducing the burden on healthcare professionals.
