Advancing brain tumor classification through MTAP model: an innovative approach in medical diagnostics

The early diagnosis of brain tumors is critical in the area of healthcare, owing to the potentially life-threatening repercussions unstable growths within the brain can pose to individuals. The accurate and early diagnosis of brain tumors enables prompt medical intervention. In this context, we have established a new model called MTAP to enable a highly accurate diagnosis of brain tumors. The MTAP model addresses dataset class imbalance by utilizing the ADASYN method, employs a network pruning technique to reduce unnecessary weights and nodes in the neural network, and incorporates Avg-TopK pooling method for enhanced feature extraction. The primary goal of our research is to enhance the accuracy of brain tumor type detection, a critical aspect of medical imaging and diagnostics. The MTAP model introduces a novel classification strategy for brain tumors, leveraging the strength of deep learning methods and novel model refinement techniques. Following comprehensive experimental studies and meticulous design, the MTAP model has achieved a state-of-the-art accuracy of 99.69%. Our findings indicate that the use of deep learning and innovative model refinement techniques shows promise in facilitating the early detection of brain tumors. Analysis of the model's heat map revealed a notable focus on regions encompassing the parietal and temporal lobes.
