Brain tumor detection using deep

learning and Neural network.

ABSTRACT
Brain tumor is the growth of abnormal cells in brain some of which may leads to cancer.
The usual method to detect brain tumor is Magnetic Resonance Imaging(MRI) scans. From
the MRI images information about the abnormal tissue growth in the brain is identified. In
various research papers, the detection of brain tumor is done by applying Machine Learning
and Deep Learning algorithms. When these algorithms are applied on the MRI images the
prediction of brain tumor is done very fast and a higher accuracy helps in providing the
treatment to the patients. These prediction also helps the radiologist in making quick
decisions. In the proposed work, a self defined Artificial Neural Network (ANN) and
Convolution Neural Network (CNN) is applied in detecting the presence of brain tumor and
their performance is analyzed.

INTRODUCTION
In the realm of medical imaging, the quest for accurate and timely detection of brain tumors
has seen a transformative shift with the integration of deep learning methodologies,
particularly Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs). This groundbreaking research focuses
on harnessing the computational prowess of CNNs to analyze Magnetic Resonance Imaging
(MRI) scans of the brain, propelling diagnostic capabilities to unprecedented heights. The
intricate and nuanced features inherent in MRI images pose a complex challenge that
traditional methods often struggle to address effectively.
Deep learning, a subset of artificial intelligence, exhibits remarkable potential in automating
the detection and classification of abnormal patterns within these images. By training the
CNN on diverse datasets, the model becomes adept at recognizing subtle anomalies
indicative of brain tumors. The implications of such advancements are profound, offering a
more precise and expedited diagnosis process.
Within this context, MATLAB emerges as a formidable ally, providing a versatile and
powerful environment for the implementation and optimization of deep learning algorithms.
The amalgamation of CNNs and MATLAB not only enhances the accuracy of brain tumor
detection but also lays the foundation for a sophisticated computer-aided diagnostic system.
This research endeavors to redefine the landscape of neuroimaging, pushing the boundaries
of medical technology and ultimately contributing to improved patient care and outcomes.

Project Synopsis

The conventional methods for brain tumor detection in MRI images often face limitations in
accuracy and efficiency. This research addresses the pressing need for a more advanced and
automated approach using deep learning, specifically CNNs, to enhance the precision of
tumor identification. The challenge lies in developing a robust algorithm capable of
accurately recognizing subtle and intricate patterns indicative of brain tumors within the
complex visual data of MRI scans. By leveraging the computational capabilities of deep
learning and implementing the solution in MATLAB, this study aims to overcome existing
diagnostic challenges and pave the way for a more effective and streamlined brain tumor
detection process.

SOLUTION FOR PROBLEM STATEMENT

The proposed solution involves the utilization of Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs)
for the automated analysis of brain MRI images. Through a carefully curated dataset, the
CNN is trained to recognize distinct patterns associated with normal and abnormal brain
structures. The intricate layers of the CNN enable it to extract features that might elude
traditional methods, contributing to improved accuracy in tumor detection.
MATLAB serves as the implementation platform, offering a versatile environment for
developing and optimizing the deep learning algorithm. The model's training process
involves iterative adjustments to enhance its ability to discern subtle anomalies indicative of
brain tumors. Upon successful training, the CNN can autonomously analyze new MRI
scans, providing rapid and accurate insights into the presence of tumors. This integrated
solution not only addresses the limitations of existing methods but also lays the groundwork
for a more sophisticated and efficient computer-aided diagnostic tool for neuroimaging.
