Symptomatically Brain Tumor Detection Using Convolutional Neural Networks

Abstract

In the human body, the most important and the complex organs work with billions of cells in the brain. The abnormal growth or uncontrolled division of cells around the brain will cause a brain tumor. These group of cells which affect the functioning of the brain and also destroys the human cells. In the olden days, the detection of brain tumors is way much harder than nowadays. The usage of modern computer vision techniques has made the detection to be more accurate and easy. In this paper, firstly the detection of tumor in the brain was performed using a Sequential Neural Network (SNN) model which classifies the symptoms, as the brain tumor and then Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) Scans are used for the further confirmation. The SNN model has an accuracy of 99.36% whereas the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Model used in this paper is 99.89% accurate.
