Automated brain tumor classification using various deep learning models: a comparative study

Abstract

The brain tumor, the most common and aggressive disease, leads to a very shorter lifespan. Thus, planning treatments is a crucial step in improving a patient's quality of life. In general, several image techniques such as CT, MRI, and ultrasound have been used for assessing tumors in the prostate, breast, lung, brain, etc. Primarily, MRI images are applied to detect tumors in the brain during this work. The enormous amount of data produced by the MRI scan thwarts tumor vs. non-tumor manual classification at a particular time. Unfortunately, with a small number of images, it has certain limitations (i.e., precise quantitative measurements). Therefore, an automated classification system is necessary to avoid human mortality. The automatic categorization of brain tumors in the surrounding tumor region is a challenging task concerning space and structural variability. Four deep learning models: AlexNet, VGG16, GoogleNet, and RestNet50, are used in this comparative study to classify brain tumors. Based on accuracy, the results showed that RestNet50 is the best model with an accuracy of 95.8%, while AlexNet has the fast performance with a processing time of 1.2 seconds. In addition, a hardware parallel processing unit (GPU) is employed for real-time purposes, where AlexNet (the fastest model) has a processing time of only 8.3 msec.

“…Process involves in the feature extraction the deep learning approach applied in this model, involves in two process that are i) feature extraction and ii) classification. Feature extraction processes can be carried out with several convolution layers added with max-pooling layers and output of convolution layers are connected to ReLu [20] as a non-linear activation function. The convolution layer involves in the process can be learned in supervised or unsupervised manner contains a set of filters.…”

“…They achieved an accuracy of more than 95%. The authors of [ 17 ] examine the performance of multiple deep learning models, i.e., VGG16, AlexNet, GoogleNet, and ResNet50, in terms of their ability to examine the brain tumor. For evaluation, they used the criteria of accuracy and processing time.…”

“…Automatic detection of brain tumors based on CV has been proposed by most of the researchers [ 14 – 16 ]. These techniques sometimes start with the preprocessing step which is generally used to enhance the image to achieve higher accuracy [ 17 ]. However, this is not the obvious case as it depends on the situation whether you need to do the preprocessing or not.…”
