Grade Classification of Tumors from Brain Magnetic Resonance Images Using a Deep Learning Technique

To improve the accuracy of tumor identification, it is necessary to develop a reliable automated diagnostic method. In order to precisely categorize brain tumors, researchers developed a variety of segmentation algorithms. Segmentation of brain images is generally recognized as one of the most challenging tasks in medical image processing. In this article, a novel automated detection and classification method was proposed. The proposed approach consisted of many phases, including pre-processing MRI images, segmenting images, extracting features, and classifying images. During the pre-processing portion of an MRI scan, an adaptive filter was utilized to eliminate background noise. For feature extraction, the local-binary grey level co-occurrence matrix (LBGLCM) was used, and for image segmentation, enhanced fuzzy c-means clustering (EFCMC) was used. After extracting the scan features, we used a deep learning model to classify MRI images into two groups: glioma and normal. The classifications were created using a convolutional recurrent neural network (CRNN). The proposed technique improved brain image classification from a defined input dataset. MRI scans from the REMBRANDT dataset, which consisted of 620 testing and 2480 training sets, were used for the research. The data demonstrate that the newly proposed method outperformed its predecessors. The proposed CRNN strategy was compared against BP, U-Net, and ResNet, which are three of the most prevalent classification approaches currently being used. For brain tumor classification, the proposed system outcomes were 98.17% accuracy, 91.34% specificity, and 98.79% sensitivity.
