Summary
A new Lee sigma filtered histogram segmentation (LSFHS) technique improves brain tumor detection accuracy by 14% and reduces errors by 58%. This method offers faster and more precise identification of brain tumors from MRI images.
Area of Science:
- Medical Imaging
- Artificial Intelligence
- Quantum Computing
Background:
- Brain tumors are a leading cause of death globally, necessitating early and accurate detection for effective treatment.
- Conventional machine learning methods struggle with precise brain tumor detection using MRI images.
- Quantum computing and deep learning offer potential advancements in medical diagnostics.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a novel technique, Lee sigma filtered histogram segmentation (LSFHS), for accurate and time-efficient brain tumor detection.
- To overcome the limitations of conventional machine learning in MRI-based brain tumor identification.
- To enhance early-stage brain tumor diagnosis through improved accuracy and speed.
Main Methods:
- The LSFHS technique involves preprocessing using an adaptive Lee sigma filter to reduce noise.
- Gray bimodal histogram segmentation is applied to partition the preprocessed MRI images.
- Feature extraction and classification using a TanH activation function are performed for tumor detection.
Main Results:
- The LSFHS technique demonstrated a 14% increase in tumor detection accuracy.
- Tumor detection time was reduced by 25% compared to existing methods.
- The error rate in tumor detection was reduced by 58%.
Conclusions:
- The LSFHS technique significantly outperforms state-of-the-art methods in brain tumor detection accuracy and speed.
- LSFHS enables earlier detection of brain tumors with higher precision.
