This paper investigates the efficacy of automated pattern recognition methods on magnetic resonance data with the objective of assisting radiologists in the clinical diagnosis of brain tissue tumors. In this paper, the sciences of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance spectroscopy (MRS) are combined to improve the accuracy of the classifier, based on the multidimensional co-occurrence matrices to assess the detection of pathological tissues (tumor and edema), normal tissues (white matter -WM and gray matter -GM), and fluid (cerebrospinal fluid -CSF). The results show the ability of the classifier with iterative training to automatically and simultaneously recover tissue-specific spectral and structural patterns and achieve segmentation of tumor and edema and grading of high and low glioma tumor. Here, extreme learning machine -improved particle swarm optimization (ELM-IPSO) neural network classifier is trained with the feature descriptions in brain magnetic resonance (MR) spectra. This has the characteristics of varying the normal spectral pattern associated with tumor patterns along with imaging features. Validation was performed considering 35 clinical studies. The volumetric features extracted from the vectors of this matrix articulate some important elementary structures, which along with spectroscopic metabolite ratios discriminate the tumor grades and tissue classes. The quantitative 3D analysis reveals significant improvement in terms of global accuracy rate for automatic classification in brain tissues and discriminating pathological tumor tissue from structural healthy brain tissue.

Abstract-Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) technique is one of the most useful diagnostic tools for human soft tissue analysis. Moreover, the brain anatomy features and internal tissue architecture of brain tumor are a complex task in case of 3-D anatomy. The additional spatial relationship in transverse, longitudinal planes and the coronal plane information has been proved to be helpful for clinical applications. This study extends the computation of gray level cooccurrence matrix (GLCM) and Run length matrix (RLM) to a threedimensional form for feature extraction. The sub-selection of rich optimal bank of features to model a classifier is achieved with custom Genetic Algorithm design. An improved Extreme Learning Machine (ELM) classifier algorithm is explored, for training single hidden layer artificial neural network, integrating an enhanced swarm-based method in optimization of the best parameters (input-weights, bias, norm and hidden neurons), enhancing generalization and conditioning of the algorithm. The method is modeled for automatic brain tissue and pathological tumor classification and segmentation of 3D MRI tumor images. The method proposed demonstrates good generalization capability from the best individuals obtained in the learning phase to handle sparse image data on publically available benchmark dataset and real time data sets.

Today, sensors generate vast amounts of data in different fields such as hospitals, the transport sector, social media, and so on. In hospitals, the use of sensors that are installed in the patient’s body to monitor the pulse rate, heartbeats, head movement, eyes, and other body parts. Every day, these collected data are stored in local data servers and database servers by various sensors that require effective handling of these data. Sensors are primarily used in most of the IoT applications in everyday life from which smart city plays a crucial role. The aim of the work is to address the application of big data in healthcare and life science, including different types of data that involve special attention in processing. This work focuses on the use of large-data analytical techniques to process medical data. A large volume of unstructured cancer database is considered to identify and predict different types of cancer such as breast cancer, lung cancer, blood cancer, and so forth. This research involves the segmentation of thousands of records on cancer forms in a broad cancer database into various segmented databases. Using KNN algorithm this segmentation, classification and prediction will be achieved.
