Deep Learning Approach for Brain Tumor Detection and Segmentation

摘要

Brain tumor is a serious health condition which can be fatal if not treated on time. Hence it becomes necessary to detect the tumor in initial stages for planning treatment at the earliest. In this paper we have proposed a CNN model for detection of brain tumor. Firstly brain MRI images are augmented to generate sufficient data for deep learning. The images are then pre-processed to remove noise and make images suitable for further steps. The proposed system is trained with pre-processed MRI brain images that classifies newly input image as tumorous or normal based on features extracted during training. Back propagation is used while training to minimize the error and generate more accurate results. Autoencoders are used to generated image which removes irrelevant features and further tumor region is segmented using K-Means algorithm which is a unsupervised learning method.
