BrainGAN: Brain MRI Image Generation and Classification Framework Using GAN Architectures and CNN Models

Abstract

Deep learning models have been used in several domains, however, adjusting is still required to be applied in sensitive areas such as medical imaging. As the use of technology in the medical domain is needed because of the time limit, the level of accuracy assures trustworthiness. Because of privacy concerns, machine learning applications in the medical field are unable to use medical data. For example, the lack of brain MRI images makes it difficult to classify brain tumors using image-based classification. The solution to this challenge was achieved through the application of Generative Adversarial Network (GAN)-based augmentation techniques. Deep Convolutional GAN (DCGAN) and Vanilla GAN are two examples of GAN architectures used for image generation. In this paper, a framework, denoted as BrainGAN, for generating and classifying brain MRI images using GAN architectures and deep learning models was proposed. Consequently, this study proposed an automatic way to check that generated images are satisfactory. It uses three models: CNN, MobileNetV2, and ResNet152V2. Training the deep transfer models with images made by Vanilla GAN and DCGAN, and then evaluating their performance on a test set composed of real brain MRI images. From the results of the experiment, it was found that the ResNet152V2 model outperformed the other two models. The ResNet152V2 achieved 99.09% accuracy, 99.12% precision, 99.08% recall, 99.51% area under the curve (AUC), and 0.196 loss based on the brain MRI images generated by DCGAN architecture.

Hypertension Diagnosis with Backpropagation Neural Networks for Sustainability in Public Health

“…There are several techniques for the diagnosis of hypertension among them SVM, Navie Bayes, which we analyzed and compared, adding the following comparatives Tables 11 and 12. [30][31][32][33].…”

“…Machine Learning SVM This article mentions the use of SVM in combination with simple k; implies to obtain a lower order error and determine the tumour region by consolidating the inherent image structure progression [30] but does NOT mention its effectiveness and accuracy.…”

Semi-ProtoPNet Deep Neural Network for the Classification of Defective Power Grid Distribution Structures

“…Thus, there is a general trend in the research community to use deeper architectures, making the ResNet model promising. Similar to VGG networks, the ResNet model has several variations, such as ResNet-34 [60], ResNet-50 [61], and ResNet-152 [62], which depend on the number of layers used.…”

A Multi-Purpose Shallow Convolutional Neural Network for Chart Images

“…The generated images are used in training CNN where they improve the model’s accuracy and performance. Another example of using DCGAN for medical purposes is BrainGAN [ 63 ]. BrainGAN successfully generates brain magnetic resonance images with and without tumors.…”
