Brain Tumor Detection using Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract

Brain tumor is the main threat among the people. But currently, it become more advanced because of the many Machine Learning techniques. Magnetic Resonance Imaging is the greatest technique among all the image processing techniques which scans the human body and gives  a  clear  resolution  of the tumors in an  improved  quality  image.  The fundamentals of MRI are to develop images based on magnetic field and radio waves of the anatomy of the body. The major area of segmentation of images is medical image processing. Better results are provided by MRI images than CT scan, X-rays etc. Nowadays the automatic tumor detection in large spatial and structural variability. Recently Convolutional Neural Network plays an important role in medical field and computer vision. One of its application is the identification of brain tumor. Here, the pre-processing technique is used to convert normal images to grayscale values because it contains equal intensity but in MRI, RGB content is included. Then filtering is used to remove the unwanted noises using median and high pass filter for better quality of images. The deeper architecture design in CNN is performed using small kernels. Finally, the effect of using this network for segmentation of tumor from MRI images is evaluated with better results.
