A Hybrid Deep Learning-Based Approach for Brain Tumor Classification

Abstract

Brain tumors (BTs) are spreading very rapidly across the world. Every year, thousands of people die due to deadly brain tumors. Therefore, accurate detection and classification are essential in the treatment of brain tumors. Numerous research techniques have been introduced for BT detection as well as classification based on traditional machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL). The traditional ML classifiers require hand-crafted features, which is very time-consuming. On the contrary, DL is very robust in feature extraction and has recently been widely used for classification and detection purposes. Therefore, in this work, we propose a hybrid deep learning model called DeepTumorNet for three types of brain tumors (BTs)—glioma, meningioma, and pituitary tumor classification—by adopting a basic convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture. The GoogLeNet architecture of the CNN model was used as a base. While developing the hybrid DeepTumorNet approach, the last 5 layers of GoogLeNet were removed, and 15 new layers were added instead of these 5 layers. Furthermore, we also utilized a leaky ReLU activation function in the feature map to increase the expressiveness of the model. The proposed model was tested on a publicly available research dataset for evaluation purposes, and it obtained 99.67% accuracy, 99.6% precision, 100% recall, and a 99.66% F1-score. The proposed methodology obtained the highest accuracy compared with the state-of-the-art classification results obtained with Alex net, Resnet50, darknet53, Shufflenet, GoogLeNet, SqueezeNet, ResNet101, Exception Net, and MobileNetv2. The proposed model showed its superiority over the existing models for BT classification from the MRI images.

A Novel Hybrid Deep Learning Model for Metastatic Cancer Detection

“…Since malignant tumors need early treatment because it is cancerous cell and spread abruptly. To limit and avoid future issues from occurring, the problem is a binary classification task to recognize malignant and benign issues that can be addressed using various machine learning and deep learning (ML/DL) algorithms [9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. e use of machine learning approaches to decrease the risk of developing cancer, recurrence, and survival prediction might increase the accuracy by 20% to 25% than last year [18].…”

A Novel CovidDetNet Deep Learning Model for Effective COVID-19 Infection Detection Using Chest Radiograph Images

“…We offer a model that can detect pneumonia from chest X-rays more accurately than experienced radiologists in this paper. X-rays are simpler, quicker, inexpensive, less harmful, and expose individuals to less radiation than CT and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) [23].…”

A Novel Decentralized Blockchain Architecture for the Preservation of Privacy and Data Security against Cyberattacks in Healthcare

“…In contrast, an EHR affords a wider and broader view and focuses on a patient’s health in its totality. Some applications that integrate and support blockchain technology in the field of EMR and EHR are MedRec [ 3 ], FHIRChain [ 9 ], Medshare [ 10 ], Ethereum applications, MedBlock [ 11 ], BlockHIE [ 12 ], Ancile [ 13 ], and OmniPHR [ 14 ]. Remote patient monitoring deals with monitoring and supervising patient health by means of electronic media.…”
