Gaussian filter and CNN based framework for accurate detection of brain tumor by analyzing MRI images

Abstract

The diagnosis of cancer can be challenging and time-consuming due to the complex characteristics of tumors and inherent noise in medical imaging. The significance of early detection and localization of tumors must be considered. Radiological imaging techniques can detect and potentially forecast the presence of neoplastic growths at various phases. The expeditiousness of the diagnosis process can be notably enhanced by amalgamating these images with algorithms designed for segmentation and relegation. Early detection of tumors and accurate localization of their position are critical factors. Medical scans, when used with segmentation and relegation procedures, enable the prompt and precise detection of cancerous tumor regions. The identification of malignant tumors enables this achievement. The present article introduces a framework for detecting brain tumors based on a convolutional neural network (CNN). The initial step in processing brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images involves the application of a Gaussian filter to eliminate any noise present. Subsequently, CNN and long short-term memory (LSTM) deep learning methodologies are employed to classify images. CNN has demonstrated improved accuracy in the classification and detection of brain tumors. CNN has achieved an accuracy of 99.25% in cancer image classification. The sensitivity and specificity of CNN are also 98.75% and 99.25%, respectively.
