Abstract
Introduction: Brain tumors are abnormal cell growths in the brain, posing significant treatment challenges. Accurate early detection using non-invasive methods is crucial for effective treatment. This research focuses on improving the early detection of brain tumors in MRI images through advanced deep-learning techniques. The primary goal is to identify the most effective deep-learning model for classifying brain tumors from MRI data, enhancing diagnostic accuracy and reliability. Methods: The proposed method for brain tumor classification integrates segmentation using K-means++, feature extraction from the Spatial Gray Level Dependence Matrix (SGLDM), and classification with ResNet50, along with synthetic data augmentation to enhance model robustness. Segmentation isolates tumor regions, while SGLDM captures critical texture information. The ResNet50 model then classifies the tumors accurately. To further improve the interpretability of the classification results, Grad-CAM is employed, providing visual explanations by highlighting influential regions in the MRI images. Result: In terms of accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity, the evaluation on the Br35H::BrainTumorDetection2020 dataset showed superior performance of the suggested method compared to existing state-of-the-art approaches. This indicates its effectiveness in achieving higher precision in identifying and classifying brain tumors from MRI data, showcasing advancements in diagnostic reliability and efficacy. Discussion: The superior performance of the suggested method indicates its robustness in accurately classifying brain tumors from MRI images, achieving higher accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity compared to existing methods. The method's enhanced sensitivity ensures a greater detection rate of true positive cases, while its improved specificity reduces false positives, thereby optimizing clinical decision-making and patient care in neuro-oncology.
