Designing a deep hybridized residual and SE model for MRI image-based brain tumor prediction

Deep learning techniques have become crucial in the detection of brain tumors but classifying numerous images is time-consuming and error-prone, impacting timely diagnosis. This can hinder the effectiveness of these techniques in detecting brain tumors in a timely manner. To address this limitation, this study introduces a novel brain tumor detection system. The main objective is to overcome the challenges associated with acquiring a large and well-classified dataset. The proposed approach involves generating synthetic Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images that mimic the patterns commonly found in brain MRI images. The system utilizes a dataset consisting of small images that are unbalanced in terms of class distribution. To enhance the accuracy of tumor detection, two deep learning models are employed. Using a hybrid ResNet+SE model, we capture feature distributions within unbalanced classes, creating a more balanced dataset. The second model, a tailored classifier identifies brain tumors in MRI images. The proposed method has shown promising results, achieving a high detection accuracy of 98.79%. This highlights the potential of the model as an efficient and cost-effective system for brain tumor detection.
