The brain tumors, are the most common and aggressive disease, leading to a very short life expectancy in their highest grade. Thus, treatment planning is a key stage to improve the quality of life of patients. Generally, various image techniques such as Computed Tomography (CT), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and ultrasound image are used to evaluate the tumor in a brain, lung, liver, breast, prostate…etc. Especially, in this work MRI images are used to diagnose tumor in the brain. However the huge amount of data generated by MRI scan thwarts manual classification of tumor vs non-tumor in a particular time. But it having some limitation (i.e) accurate quantitative measurements is provided for limited number of images. Hence trusted and automatic classification scheme are essential to prevent the death rate of human. The automatic brain tumor classification is very challenging task in large spatial and structural variability of surrounding region of brain tumor. In this work, automatic brain tumor detection is proposed by using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN) classification. The deeper architecture design is performed by using small kernels. The weight of the neuron is given as small. Experimental results show that the CNN archives rate of 97.5% accuracy with low complexity and compared with the all other state of arts methods.
Epileptic focal seizures can be localized in the brain using tracer injections during or immediately after the incidence of a seizure. A real-time automated seizure detection system with minimal latency can help time the injection properly to find the seizure origin accurately. Reliable real-time seizure detection systems have not been clinically reported yet. We developed an anomaly detection-based automated seizure detection system, using scalp-electroencephalogram (EEG) data, which can be trained using a few seizure sessions, and implemented it on commercially available hardware with parallel, neuromorphic architecture—the NeuroStack. We extracted nonlinear, statistical, and discrete wavelet decomposition features, and we developed a graphical user interface and traditional feature selection methods to select the most discriminative features. We investigated Reduced Coulomb Energy (RCE) networks and K-Nearest Neighbors (k-NN) for its several advantages, such as fast learning no local minima problem. We obtained a maximum sensitivity of 91.14%±1.77% and a specificity of 98.77%±0.57% with 5 s epoch duration. The system’s latency was 12 s, which is within most seizure event windows, which last for an average duration of 60 s. Our results showed that the CD feature consumes large computation resources and excluding it can reduce the latency to 3.6 s but at the cost of lower performance 80% sensitivity and 97% specificity. We demonstrated that the proposed methodology achieves a high specificity and an acceptable sensitivity within a short delay. Our results indicated also that individual-based RCE are superior to population-based RCE. The proposed RCE networks has been compared to SVM and ANN as a baseline for comparison as they are the most common machine learning seizure detection methods. SVM and ANN-based systems were trained on the same data as RCE and K-NN with features optimized specifically for them. RCE nets are superior to SVM and ANN. The proposed model also achieves comparable performance to the state-of-the-art deep learning techniques while not requiring a sizeable database, which is often expensive to build. These numbers indicate that the system is viable as a trigger mechanism for tracer injection.
