Abstract

This survey article presents a critical review of the state-of-the-art transfer learning (TL) methodologies applied in the field of brain tumor classification, with a special emphasis on their various contributions and associated performance metrics. We will discuss various pre-processing approaches, the underlying fine-tuning strategies, whether used purely or in an end-to-end training manner, and multi-modal applications. The current study specifically highlights the application of VGG16 and residual network (ResNet) methods for feature extraction, demonstrating that leveraging highorder features in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images can enhance accuracy while reducing training. We further analyze fine-tuning methods in relation to their role in optimizing model layers for small, domain-specific datasets, finding them particularly effective in enhancing performance on the small brain tumor dataset. It will look into end-to-end training, which means fine-tuning models that have already been trained on large datasets to make them better. It will also present multimodal TL as a way to use both MRI and computed tomography (CT) scan data to get better classification results. Comparing different pre-trained models can provide a better understanding of the strengths and weaknesses associated with the particular brain tumor classification task. This review aims to analyze the advancements in TL for medical image analysis and explore potential avenues for future research and development in this crucial field of medical diagnostics.

Abstract

Due to the complexity of the different tumor types in medical imaging detection of brain tumor is still as prominent challenge. This paper present the innovative technique enhanced transfer learning framework (ETLF) which integrating the advanced pre-processing with hybrid fine-tuned method for accurate brain tumor detection from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans. The proposed model combine the strength of pre-trained convolutional neural networks (CNNs) such as EfficientNetB0 through domain specific transfer learning and attention based fine tuning. A novel feature fusion layer and adaptive learning rate scheduler are key indicators for model performance and prevent overfitting. The methodology is assessed on the benchmark dataset BraTS and Kaggle brain tumor datasets. The main contribution of work lies in development of domain- adaptive transfer learning with different datasets. The ETLF shows the high accuracy of 98.76% which able outperforms effectively in diagnosing tumor suitable of clinical purpose.
