Using Transfer Learning, a Mobile Application Detects Brain Tumors

Abstract

The segmentation, identification, and extraction of contaminated tumour regions from magnetic resonance (MR) images is a serious problem, but it is a time-consuming and labor-intensive operation carried out by radiologists or clinical experts, whose accuracy is totally reliant on their knowledge. As a consequence, using computer-assisted technologies to circumvent these limits becomes more vital. In this study, we looked into Berkeley wavelet transformation (BWT) based brain tumour segmentation to improve performance and reduce the complexity of the medical image segmentation process. Furthermore, relevant properties are extracted from each segmented tissue to improve the support vector machine (SVM) based classifier's accuracy and quality rate. The experimental results of the recommended technique have been examined and validated for performance and quality analysis on magnetic resonance brain pictures based on accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and dice similarity index coefficient. With 96.51 percent accuracy, 94.2 percent specificity, and 97.72 percent sensitivity, the recommended technique for discriminating normal and diseased tissues from brain MR images was shown to be effective. The results of the testing revealed an average dice similarity index coefficient of 0.82, showing that the automated (machine) extracted tumour area coincided with the manually determined tumour region by radiologists. The simulation results show the relevance of quality parameters and accuracy when compared to state-of-the-art approaches. The main objective is to develop a smartphone app for identifying brain tumours.
