Abstract

Research in medical image analysis, specifically through deep convolutional networks, addresses the challenges of manually analyzing large magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) image volumes for brain tumor detection. The manual analysis is time-consuming, tedious, and prone to inaccuracies due to subtle visual similarities between normal tissue and tumor cells. This research aims to automate tumor detection, increasing accuracy and efficiency in medical treatments. This study aimed to develop a model capable of classifying brain tumors 2D MRI images, and the convolutional neural network (CNN)-based model successfully achieved an accuracy of 99.21% but suffered from noticeable Overfitting. Implementing the independent tests set and early stopping mitigated this issue, making the model more reliable for production deployment and demonstrating its potential in supporting physicians in detecting brain tumors, thereby enhancing treatment efficiency. The use of Python, TensorFlow, and Keras facilitated the development of the proposed solution, focusing on a diverse set of MRI images with varying tumor sizes, locations, shapes, and intensities.
