Convolutional-Neural-Network Assisted Segmentation and SVM Classification of Brain Tumor in Clinical MRI Slices

Abstract

Due to the increased disease occurrence rates in humans, the need for the Automated Disease Diagnosis (ADD) systems is also raised. Most of the ADD systems are proposed to support the doctor during the screening and decision making process. This research aims at developing a Computer Aided Disease Diagnosis (CADD) scheme to categorize the brain tumour of 2D MRI slices into Glioblastoma/Glioma class with better accuracy. The main contribution of this research work is to develop a CADD system with Convolutional-Neural-Network (CNN) supported segmentation and classification. The proposed CADD framework consist of the following phases; (i) Image collection and resizing, (ii) Automated tumour segmentation using VGG-UNet, (iv) Deep-feature extraction using VGG16 network, (v) Handcrafted feature extraction, (vi) Finest feature choice by firefly-algorithm, and (vii) Serial feature concatenation and binary classification. The merit of the executed CADD is confirmed using an investigation realized using the benchmark as well as clinically collected brain MRI slices. In this work, a binary classification with a 10-fold cross validation is implemented using well known classifiers and the results attained with the SVM-Cubic (accuracy >98%) is superior. This result confirms that the combination of CNN assisted segmentation and classification helps to achieve enhanced disease detection accuracy.

Automatic detection of COVID-19 in chest radiographs using serially concatenated deep and handcrafted features

“…In this work, two different features such as deep and LBP are extracted. The deep features are extracted from the chosen DLM, like GoogleNet, VGG16, VGG19, ResnEt18, ResNEt50 and ResNet101 [14,19,24,27,29,32]. After getting the necessary features, the LBP features with various weights presented in [7] are adopted, and the extracted features are then reduced to avoid the overfitting problem.…”

“…The complete information about the VGG16 can be found in [5,24] and in this work, the following parameters are assigned for the VGG16; conventional image augmentation technique.It is assigned during the learning. The learning rate is fixed as 1e-5, Linear-Dropout-Rate (LDR) based training with and Adam optimization.…”

Framework to Segment and Evaluate Multiple Sclerosis Lesion in MRI Slices Using VGG-UNet

“…The brain is one of the prime internal organs in human physiology, and the abnormality in the brain is a major medical emergency. The abnormality in the brain causes various behavioural disorders, and appropriate diagnosis and treatment will help to reduce these issues [ 1 , 2 ]. Multiple sclerosis (MS) is one of the brain-connected diseases that happens mainly in the central nervous system (CNS) [ 3 – 5 ].…”
