However, many developing countries face a significant shortage of these specialists, which impedes the accurate identification and analysis of tumors. This shortage exacerbates the challenge of delivering precise and timely diagnoses and delays the production of comprehensive MRI reports. Such delays can critically affect treatment outcomes, especially for conditions requiring immediate intervention, potentially leading to higher mortality rates. In this study, we introduced an adapted convolutional neural network designed to automate brain tumor diagnosis. Our model features fewer layers, each optimized with carefully selected hyperparameters. As a result, it significantly reduced both execution time and memory usage compared to other models. Specifically, its execution time was 10 times shorter than that of the referenced models, and its memory consumption was 3 times lower than that of ResNet. In terms of accuracy, our model outperformed all other architectures presented in the study, except for ResNet, which showed similar performance with an accuracy of around 90%.展开更多

文摘Brain tumors come in various types,each with distinct characteristics and treatment approaches,making manual detection a time-consuming and potentially ambiguous process.Brain tumor detection is a valuable tool for gaining a deeper understanding of tumors and improving treatment outcomes.Machine learning models have become key players in automating brain tumor detection.Gradient descent methods are the mainstream algorithms for solving machine learning models.In this paper,we propose a novel distributed proximal stochastic gradient descent approach to solve the L_(1)-Smooth Support Vector Machine(SVM)classifier for brain tumor detection.Firstly,the smooth hinge loss is introduced to be used as the loss function of SVM.It avoids the issue of nondifferentiability at the zero point encountered by the traditional hinge loss function during gradient descent optimization.Secondly,the L_(1) regularization method is employed to sparsify features and enhance the robustness of the model.Finally,adaptive proximal stochastic gradient descent(PGD)with momentum,and distributed adaptive PGDwithmomentum(DPGD)are proposed and applied to the L_(1)-Smooth SVM.Distributed computing is crucial in large-scale data analysis,with its value manifested in extending algorithms to distributed clusters,thus enabling more efficient processing ofmassive amounts of data.The DPGD algorithm leverages Spark,enabling full utilization of the computer’s multi-core resources.Due to its sparsity induced by L_(1) regularization on parameters,it exhibits significantly accelerated convergence speed.From the perspective of loss reduction,DPGD converges faster than PGD.The experimental results show that adaptive PGD withmomentumand its variants have achieved cutting-edge accuracy and efficiency in brain tumor detection.Frompre-trained models,both the PGD andDPGD outperform other models,boasting an accuracy of 95.21%.

文摘Accurate automatic segmentation of gliomas in various sub-regions,including peritumoral edema,necrotic core,and enhancing and non-enhancing tumor core from 3D multimodal MRI images,is challenging because of its highly heterogeneous appearance and shape.Deep convolution neural networks(CNNs)have recently improved glioma segmentation performance.However,extensive down-sampling such as pooling or stridden convolution in CNNs significantly decreases the initial image resolution,resulting in the loss of accurate spatial and object parts information,especially information on the small sub-region tumors,affecting segmentation performance.Hence,this paper proposes a novel multi-level parallel network comprising three different level parallel subnetworks to fully use low-level,mid-level,and high-level information and improve the performance of brain tumor segmentation.We also introduce the Combo loss function to address input class imbalance and false positives and negatives imbalance in deep learning.The proposed method is trained and validated on the BraTS 2020 training and validation dataset.On the validation dataset,ourmethod achieved a mean Dice score of 0.907,0.830,and 0.787 for the whole tumor,tumor core,and enhancing tumor core,respectively.Compared with state-of-the-art methods,the multi-level parallel network has achieved competitive results on the validation dataset.

文摘Background Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)has played an important role in the rapid growth of medical imaging diagnostic technology,especially in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors owing to its non invasive characteristics and superior soft tissue contrast.However,brain tumors are characterized by high non uniformity and non-obvious boundaries in MRI images because of their invasive and highly heterogeneous nature.In addition,the labeling of tumor areas is time-consuming and laborious.Methods To address these issues,this study uses a residual grouped convolution module,convolutional block attention module,and bilinear interpolation upsampling method to improve the classical segmentation network U-net.The influence of network normalization,loss function,and network depth on segmentation performance is further considered.Results In the experiments,the Dice score of the proposed segmentation model reached 97.581%,which is 12.438%higher than that of traditional U-net,demonstrating the effective segmentation of MRI brain tumor images.Conclusions In conclusion,we use the improved U-net network to achieve a good segmentation effect of brain tumor MRI images.

文摘In the domain ofmedical imaging,the accurate detection and classification of brain tumors is very important.This study introduces an advanced method for identifying camouflaged brain tumors within images.Our proposed model consists of three steps:Feature extraction,feature fusion,and then classification.The core of this model revolves around a feature extraction framework that combines color-transformed images with deep learning techniques,using the ResNet50 Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)architecture.So the focus is to extract robust feature fromMRI images,particularly emphasizingweighted average features extracted fromthe first convolutional layer renowned for their discriminative power.To enhance model robustness,we introduced a novel feature fusion technique based on the Marine Predator Algorithm(MPA),inspired by the hunting behavior of marine predators and has shown promise in optimizing complex problems.The proposed methodology can accurately classify and detect brain tumors in camouflage images by combining the power of color transformations,deep learning,and feature fusion via MPA,and achieved an accuracy of 98.72%on a more complex dataset surpassing the existing state-of-the-art methods,highlighting the effectiveness of the proposed model.The importance of this research is in its potential to advance the field ofmedical image analysis,particularly in brain tumor diagnosis,where diagnoses early,and accurate classification are critical for improved patient results.
文摘In medical imaging, particularly for analyzing brain tumor MRIs, the expertise of skilled neurosurgeons or radiologists is often essential. However, many developing countries face a significant shortage of these specialists, which impedes the accurate identification and analysis of tumors. This shortage exacerbates the challenge of delivering precise and timely diagnoses and delays the production of comprehensive MRI reports. Such delays can critically affect treatment outcomes, especially for conditions requiring immediate intervention, potentially leading to higher mortality rates. In this study, we introduced an adapted convolutional neural network designed to automate brain tumor diagnosis. Our model features fewer layers, each optimized with carefully selected hyperparameters. As a result, it significantly reduced both execution time and memory usage compared to other models. Specifically, its execution time was 10 times shorter than that of the referenced models, and its memory consumption was 3 times lower than that of ResNet. In terms of accuracy, our model outperformed all other architectures presented in the study, except for ResNet, which showed similar performance with an accuracy of around 90%.

文摘Brain tumor refers to the formation of abnormal cells in the brain.It can be divided into benign and malignant.The main diagnostic methods for brain tumors are plain X-ray film,Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),and so on.However,these artificial diagnosis methods are easily affected by external factors.Scholars have made such impressive progress in brain tumors classification by using convolutional neural network(CNN).However,there are still some problems:(i)There are many parameters in CNN,which require much calculation.(ii)The brain tumor data sets are relatively small,which may lead to the overfitting problem in CNN.In this paper,our team proposes a novel model(RBEBT)for the automatic classification of brain tumors.We use fine-tuned ResNet18 to extract the features of brain tumor images.The RBEBT is different from the traditional CNN models in that the randomized neural network(RNN)is selected as the classifier.Meanwhile,our team selects the bat algorithm(BA)to opti7mize the parameters of RNN.We use fivefold cross-validation to verify the superiority of the RBEBT.The accuracy(ACC),specificity(SPE),precision(PRE),sensitivity(SEN),and F1-score(F1)are 99.00%,95.00%,99.00%,100.00%,and 100.00%.The classification performance of the RBEBT is greater than 95%,which can prove that the RBEBT is an effective model to classify brain tumors.
文摘The Brain Tumor(BT)is created by an uncontrollable rise of anomalous cells in brain tissue,and it consists of 2 types of cancers they are malignant and benign tumors.The benevolent BT does not affect the neighbouring healthy and normal tissue;however,the malignant could affect the adjacent brain tissues,which results in death.Initial recognition of BT is highly significant to protecting the patient’s life.Generally,the BT can be identified through the magnetic resonance imaging(MRI)scanning technique.But the radiotherapists are not offering effective tumor segmentation in MRI images because of the position and unequal shape of the tumor in the brain.Recently,ML has prevailed against standard image processing techniques.Several studies denote the superiority of machine learning(ML)techniques over standard techniques.Therefore,this study develops novel brain tumor detection and classification model using met heuristic optimization with machine learning(BTDC-MOML)model.To accomplish the detection of brain tumor effectively,a Computer-Aided Design(CAD)model using Machine Learning(ML)technique is proposed in this research manuscript.Initially,the input image pre-processing is performed using Gaborfiltering(GF)based noise removal,contrast enhancement,and skull stripping.Next,mayfly optimization with the Kapur’s thresholding based segmentation process takes place.For feature extraction proposes,local diagonal extreme patterns(LDEP)are exploited.At last,the Extreme Gradient Boosting(XGBoost)model can be used for the BT classification process.The accuracy analysis is performed in terms of Learning accuracy,and the validation accuracy is performed to determine the efficiency of the proposed research work.The experimental validation of the proposed model demonstrates its promising performance over other existing methods.

文摘Automated segmentation of brain tumors using Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI)data is critical in the analysis and monitoring of disease development.As a result,gliomas are aggressive and diverse tumors that may be split into intra-tumoral groups by using effective and accurate segmentation methods.It is intended to extract characteristics from an image using the Gray Level Co-occurrence(GLC)matrix feature extraction method described in the proposed work.Using Convolutional Neural Networks(CNNs),which are commonly used in biomedical image segmentation,CNNs have significantly improved the precision of the state-of-the-art segmentation of a brain tumor.Using two segmentation networks,a U-Net and a 3D CNN,we present a major yet easy combinative technique that results in improved and more precise estimates.The U-Net and 3D CNN are used together in this study to get better and more accurate estimates of what is going on.Using the dataset,two models were developed and assessed to provide segmentation maps that differed fundamentally in terms of the segmented tumour sub-region.Then,the estimates was made by two separate models that were put together to produce the final prediction.In comparison to current state-of-the-art designs,the precision(percentage)was 98.35,98.5,and 99.4 on the validation set for tumor core,enhanced tumor,and whole tumor,respectively.

文摘A brain tumor is a mass or growth of abnormal cells in the brain.In children and adults,brain tumor is considered one of the leading causes of death.There are several types of brain tumors,including benign(non-cancerous)and malignant(cancerous)tumors.Diagnosing brain tumors as early as possible is essential,as this can improve the chances of successful treatment and survival.Considering this problem,we bring forth a hybrid intelligent deep learning technique that uses several pre-trained models(Resnet50,Vgg16,Vgg19,U-Net)and their integration for computer-aided detection and localization systems in brain tumors.These pre-trained and integrated deep learning models have been used on the publicly available dataset from The Cancer Genome Atlas.The dataset consists of 120 patients.The pre-trained models have been used to classify tumor or no tumor images,while integrated models are applied to segment the tumor region correctly.We have evaluated their performance in terms of loss,accuracy,intersection over union,Jaccard distance,dice coefficient,and dice coefficient loss.From pre-trained models,the U-Net model achieves higher performance than other models by obtaining 95%accuracy.In contrast,U-Net with ResNet-50 out-performs all other models from integrated pre-trained models and correctly classified and segmented the tumor region.

文摘Early detection of brain tumors is critical for effective treatment planning.Identifying tumors in their nascent stages can significantly enhance the chances of patient survival.While there are various types of brain tumors,each with unique characteristics and treatment protocols,tumors are often minuscule during their initial stages,making manual diagnosis challenging,time-consuming,and potentially ambiguous.Current techniques predominantly used in hospitals involve manual detection via MRI scans,which can be costly,error-prone,and time-intensive.An automated system for detecting brain tumors could be pivotal in identifying the disease in its earliest phases.This research applies several data augmentation techniques to enhance the dataset for diagnosis,including rotations of 90 and 180 degrees and inverting along vertical and horizontal axes.The CIELAB color space is employed for tumor image selection and ROI determination.Several deep learning models,such as DarkNet-53 and AlexNet,are applied to extract features from the fully connected layers,following the feature selection using entropy-coded Particle Swarm Optimization(PSO).The selected features are further processed through multiple SVM kernels for classification.This study furthers medical imaging with its automated approach to brain tumor detection,significantly minimizing the time and cost of a manual diagnosis.Our method heightens the possibilities of an earlier tumor identification,creating an avenue for more successful treatment planning and better overall patient outcomes.

文摘Human brain consists of millions of cells to control the overall structure of the human body.When these cells start behaving abnormally,then brain tumors occurred.Precise and initial stage brain tumor detection has always been an issue in the field of medicines for medical experts.To handle this issue,various deep learning techniques for brain tumor detection and segmentation techniques have been developed,which worked on different datasets to obtain fruitful results,but the problem still exists for the initial stage of detection of brain tumors to save human lives.For this purpose,we proposed a novel U-Net-based Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)technique to detect and segmentizes the brain tumor for Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI).Moreover,a 2-dimensional publicly available Multimodal Brain Tumor Image Segmentation(BRATS2020)dataset with 1840 MRI images of brain tumors has been used having an image size of 240×240 pixels.After initial dataset preprocessing the proposed model is trained by dividing the dataset into three parts i.e.,testing,training,and validation process.Our model attained an accuracy value of 0.98%on the BRATS2020 dataset,which is the highest one as compared to the already existing techniques.
文摘A brain tumor is the uncharacteristic progression of tissues in the brain.These are very deadly,and if it is not diagnosed at an early stage,it might shorten the affected patient’s life span.Hence,their classification and detection play a critical role in treatment.Traditional Brain tumor detection is done by biopsy which is quite challenging.It is usually not preferred at an early stage of the disease.The detection involvesMagneticResonance Imaging(MRI),which is essential for evaluating the tumor.This paper aims to identify and detect brain tumors based on their location in the brain.In order to achieve this,the paper proposes a model that uses an extended deep Convolutional Neural Network(CNN)named Contour Extraction based Extended EfficientNet-B0(CE-EEN-B0)which is a feed-forward neural network with the efficient net layers;three convolutional layers and max-pooling layers;and finally,the global average pooling layer.The site of tumors in the brain is one feature that determines its effect on the functioning of an individual.Thus,this CNN architecture classifies brain tumors into four categories:No tumor,Pituitary tumor,Meningioma tumor,andGlioma tumor.This network provides an accuracy of 97.24%,a precision of 96.65%,and an F1 score of 96.86%which is better than already existing pre-trained networks and aims to help health professionals to cross-diagnose an MRI image.This model will undoubtedly reduce the complications in detection and aid radiologists without taking invasive steps.

文摘Gliomas,the most prevalent primary brain tumors,require accurate segmentation for diagnosis and risk assess-ment.In this paper,we develop a novel deep learning-based method,the Dynamic Hierarchical Attention for Improved Segmentation and Survival Prognosis(DHA-ISSP)model.The DHA-ISSP model combines a three-band 3D convolutional neural network(CNN)U-Net architecture with dynamic hierarchical attention mechanisms,enabling precise tumor segmentation and survival prediction.The DHA-ISSP model captures fine-grained details and contextual information by leveraging attention mechanisms at multiple levels,enhancing segmentation accuracy.By achieving remarkable results,our approach surpasses 369 competing teams in the 2020 Multimodal Brain Tumor Segmentation Challenge.With a Dice similarity coefficient of 0.89 and a Hausdorff distance of 4.8 mm,the DHA-ISSP model demonstrates its effectiveness in accurately segmenting brain tumors.We also extract radio mic characteristics from the segmented tumor areas using the DHA-ISSP model.By applying cross-validation of decision trees to the selected features,we identify crucial predictors for glioma survival,enabling personalized treatment strategies.Utilizing the DHA-ISSP model and the desired features,we assess patients’overall survival and categorize survivors into short,mid,in addition to long survivors.The proposed work achieved impressive performance metrics,including the highest accuracy of 0.91,precision of 0.84,recall of 0.92,F1 score of 0.88,specificity of 0.94,sensitivity of 0.92,area under the curve(AUC)value of 0.96,and the lowest mean absolute error value of 0.09 and mean squared error value of 0.18.These results clearly demonstrate the superiority of the proposed system in accurately segmenting brain tumors and predicting survival outcomes,highlighting its significant merit and potential for clinical applications.
