Enhancing Brain Segmentation in MRI through Integration of Hidden Markov Random Field Model and Whale Optimization Algorithm

The automatic delineation and segmentation of the brain tissues from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRIs) is a great challenge in the medical context. The difficulty of this task arises out of the similar visual appearance of neighboring brain structures in MR images. In this study, we present an automatic approach for robust and accurate brain tissue boundary outlining in MR images. This algorithm is proposed for the tissue classification of MR brain images into White Matter (WM), Gray Matter (GM) and Cerebrospinal Fluid (CSF). The proposed segmentation process combines two algorithms, the Hidden Markov Random Field (HMRF) model and the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), to enhance the treatment accuracy. In addition, we use the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) to optimize the performance of the segmentation method. The experimental results from a dataset of brain MR images show the superiority of our proposed method, referred to HMRF-WOA, as compared to other reported approaches. The HMRF-WOA is evaluated on multiple MRI contrasts, including both simulated and real MR brain images. The well-known Dice coefficient (DC) and Jaccard coefficient (JC) were used as similarity metrics. The results show that, in many cases, our proposed method approaches the perfect segmentation with a Dice coefficient and Jaccard coefficient above 0.9.

MR-Class: A Python Tool for Brain MR Image Classification Utilizing One-vs-All DCNNs to Deal with the Open-Set Recognition Problem.

MR image classification in datasets collected from multiple sources is complicated by inconsistent and missing DICOM metadata. Therefore, we aimed to establish a method for the efficient automatic classification of MR brain sequences. Deep convolutional neural networks (DCNN) were trained as one-vs-all classifiers to differentiate between six classes: T1 weighted (w), contrast-enhanced T1w, T2w, T2w-FLAIR, ADC, and SWI. Each classifier yields a probability, allowing threshold-based and relative probability assignment while excluding images with low probability (label: unknown, open-set recognition problem). Data from three high-grade glioma (HGG) cohorts was assessed; C1 (320 patients, 20,101 MRI images) was used for training, while C2 (197, 11,333) and C3 (256, 3522) were for testing. Two raters manually checked images through an interactive labeling tool. Finally, MR-Class' added value was evaluated via radiomics model performance for progression-free survival (PFS) prediction in C2, utilizing the concordance index (C-I). Approximately 10% of annotation errors were observed in each cohort between the DICOM series descriptions and the derived labels. MR-Class accuracy was 96.7% [95% Cl: 95.8, 97.3] for C2 and 94.4% [93.6, 96.1] for C3. A total of 620 images were misclassified; manual assessment of those frequently showed motion artifacts or alterations of anatomy by large tumors. Implementation of MR-Class increased the PFS model C-I by 14.6% on average, compared to a model trained without MR-Class. We provide a DCNN-based method for the sequence classification of brain MR images and demonstrate its usability in two independent HGG datasets.

An efficient Supervised Learning Models for Multimodal MR Brain Image classification

The practicality of distinct vehicular communication tissue classifiers is based on lighting training records that replicate a place or purchase circumstance. The use of transfer learning technologies to address sampling mistakes caused by sparse annotations during supervised learning on automated tumour segmentation is recommended. The comprehensive record of a recognised event might be rather extensive. The suggested method is based on a simple and sparse description, and it effectively corrects systematic sampling mistakes for diverse tissue types using domain correction methodologies. A retrospective examination of the 2013 challenge data sets and a multimodal MR image from 19 malignant gliomas patients verified the present strategy. When compared to training on entirely marked outcomes, the time to mark and train is reduced by more than 70 and 180 seconds respectively. This considerably facilitates the creation and ongoing extension of annotated large datasets in a variety of circumstances and imaging environments; this is an important step in the actual deployment of tissue categorization learning algorithms.

DeepTumor: Framework for Brain MR Image Classification, Segmentation and Tumor Detection.

The proper segmentation of the brain tumor from the image is important for both patients and medical personnel due to the sensitivity of the human brain. Operation intervention would require doctors to be extremely cautious and precise to target the brain's required portion. Furthermore, the segmentation process is also important for multi-class tumor classification. This work primarily concentrated on making a contribution in three main areas of brain MR Image processing for classification and segmentation which are: Brain MR image classification, tumor region segmentation and tumor classification. A framework named DeepTumor is presented for the multistage-multiclass Glioma Tumor classification into four classes; Edema, Necrosis, Enhancing and Non-enhancing. For the brain MR image binary classification (Tumorous and Non-tumorous), two deep Convolutional Neural Network) CNN models were proposed for brain MR image classification; 9-layer model with a total of 217,954 trainable parameters and an improved 10-layer model with a total of 80,243 trainable parameters. In the second stage, an enhanced Fuzzy C-means (FCM) based technique is proposed for the tumor segmentation in brain MR images. In the final stage, an enhanced CNN model 3 with 11 hidden layers and a total of 241,624 trainable parameters was proposed for the classification of the segmented tumor region into four Glioma Tumor classes. The experiments are performed using the BraTS MRI dataset. The experimental results of the proposed CNN models for binary classification and multiclass tumor classification are compared with the existing CNN models such as LeNet, AlexNet and GoogleNet as well as with the latest literature.

An Efficient Methodology for Brain MRI Classification Based on DWT and Convolutional Neural Network.

In this paper, a model based on discrete wavelet transform and convolutional neural network for brain MR image classification has been proposed. The proposed model is comprised of three main stages, namely preprocessing, feature extraction, and classification. In the preprocessing, the median filter has been applied to remove salt-and-pepper noise from the brain MRI images. In the discrete wavelet transform, discrete Harr wavelet transform has been used. In the proposed model, 3-level Harr wavelet decomposition has been applied on the images to remove low-level detail and reduce the size of the images. Next, the convolutional neural network has been used for classifying the brain MR images into normal and abnormal. The convolutional neural network is also a prevalent classification method and has been widely used in different areas. In this study, the convolutional neural network has been used for brain MRI classification. The proposed methodology has been applied to the standard dataset, and for performance evaluation, we have used different performance evaluation measures. The results indicate that the proposed method provides good results with 99% accuracy. The proposed method results are then presented for comparison with some state-of-the-art algorithms where simply the proposed method outperforms the counterpart algorithms. The proposed model has been developed to be used for practical applications.

Classification of Low-Grade and High-Grade Glioma from MR Brain Images Using Multiple-Instance Learning with Combined Feature Set

Fully automatic brain image classification of MR brain images is of great importance for research and clinical studies, since the precise detection may lead to a better treatment. In this work, an efficient method based on Multiple-Instance Learning (MIL) is proposed for the automatic classification of low-grade and high-grade MR brain tumor images. The main advantage of MIL-based approach over other classification methods is that MIL considers an image as a group of instances rather than a single instance, thus facilitating an effective learning process. The mi-Graph-based MIL approach is proposed for this classification. Two different implementations of MIL-based classification, viz. Patch-based MIL (PBMIL) and Superpixel-based MIL (SPBMIL), are made in this study. The combined feature set of LBP, SIFT and FD is used for the classification. The accuracies of low-grade–high-grade tumor image classification algorithm using SPBMIL method performed on [Formula: see text], [Formula: see text] and FLAIR images read 99.2765%, 99.4195% and 99.2265%, respectively. The error rate of the proposed classification system was noted to be insignificant and hence this automated classification system could be used for the classification of images with different pathological conditions, types and disease statuses.

In this paper, we present an efficient magnetic resonance (MR) image classification system. At the first stage, the brain image is decomposed into several subbands using stationary wavelet transform (SWT). Then, local binary patterns (LBP) with reduced histograms are computed for each subband to form several primary feature vectors. Principal components analysis (PCA) followed by linear discriminant analysis (LDA) are then applied to each primary feature vector in order to transform them into new lower-dimension feature vectors. The third stage consists of using an ensemble of support vector machines (SVMs) in order to build voters and make the final decision on the requested image. The designed system is evaluated on 255 brain images with five-fold cross-validation. Experimental results show that the proposed system achieves a classification rate of 99.78% which outperforms the existing brain classification approaches.

Brain MR Image Classification for Glioma Tumor detection using Deep Convolutional Neural Network Features.

Detection of brain tumor is a complicated task, which requires specialized skills and interpretation techniques. Accurate brain tumor classification and segmentation from MR images provide an essential choice for medical treatments. Different objects within an MR image have similar size, shape, and density, which makes the tumor classification and segmentation even more complex. Classification of the brain MR images into tumorous and non-tumorous using deep features and different classifiers to get higher accuracy. In this study, a novel four-step process is proposed; pre-processing for image enhancement and compression, feature extraction using convolutional neural networks (CNN), classification using the multilayer perceptron and finally, tumor segmentation using enhanced fuzzy cmeans method. The system is tested on 65 cases in four modalities consisting of 40,300 MR Images obtained from the BRATS-2015 dataset. These include images of 26 Low-Grade Glioma (LGG) tumor cases and 39 High-Grade Glioma (HGG) tumor cases. The proposed CNN feature-based classification technique outperforms the existing methods by achieving an average accuracy of 98.77% and a noticeable improvement in the segmentation results are measured. The proposed method for brain MR image classification to detect Glioma Tumor detection can be adopted as it gives better results with high accuracies.

Deep learning techniques for classification of brain MRI

Several brain diseases are becoming a threat to the livelihood of people. One such problem is the presence of a brain tumour. A brain tumour can be benign or malignant. It is dangerous if it is a malignant or secondary tumour (metastasis). Therefore, there is a need to detect the presence of tumours at the earliest stage as possible. Using an automated method for brain tumour detection can be a solution to medical expertise as a biopsy can be excluded if early detection could be possible. Classification helps in the prediction of the type of image and type of tumour. In this paper, three stages are involved. In the first stage, the classification of brain MR images into normal (tumour) or abnormal (non-tumour) images using ConvNet, LeNet, ResNet, and DenseNet has been analysed. In the second stage, architectures like LeNet and AlexNet are used in the prediction of the type of tumour namely metastasis, glioma, and meningioma. And lastly, using U-Net and AlexNet, classification into high grade glioma and low grade glioma was done.

Development of a Novel Neural Network Model for Brain Image Classification

The analysis of brain MRI images is highly beneficial for the medical practitioners. Since the manual study of these images are time consuming and tedious, the automated process using software based system have been developed. The machine learning techniques are applied in developing brain MR image classification process. The classification process consists of dataset preparation, feature extraction, feature reduction and the use of classifier. In this paper, 2D DWT is used for feature extraction and PCA is used for feature reduction. ELM model is used as a classifier. The input weights and biases in ELM are randomly assigned. So EHO algorithm, a newly developed bio inspired algorithm is used to optimally determine the input weights and biases of ELM model. The classification performance of the EHO-ELM model is compared with basic ELM model for three of the brain MR image datasets. From the simulation study, it is found that the proposed EHO-ELM model outperformed the basic ELM model.

AUTOMATION OF MR BRAIN IMAGE CLASSIFICATION FOR MALIGNANCY DETECTION

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays an integral role among the advanced techniques for detecting a brain tumor. The early detection of brain tumor with proper automation algorithm results in assisting oncologists to make easy decisions for diagnostic purposes. This paper presents an automatic classification of MR brain images in normal and malignant conditions. The feature extraction is done with gray-level co-occurrence matrix, and we proposed a feature reduction technique based on statistical test which is preceded by principal component analysis (PCA). The main focus of the work is to establish the statistical significance of the features obtained after PCA, thereby selecting significant feature values for subsequent classification. For that, a [Formula: see text]-test is performed which yielded a [Formula: see text]-value of 0.05. Finally, a comparative study using [Formula: see text]-nearest neighbor (kNN), support vector machine and artificial neural network (ANN)-based supervised classifiers is performed. In this work, we could achieve reasonably good sensitivity, specificity and accuracy for all the classifiers. The ANN classifier gives better performance with sensitivity of 97.33%, specificity of 97.42% and accuracy of 98.66% on the whole brain atlas database. The experimental results obtained are comparable to the other recent state-of-the-art.

IDSS-based Two stage classification of brain tumor using SVM

The computer and image processing has a significant role in detecting tumor area. The decision support systems for human brain MR images are essentially encouraged with the requirement of attaining maximal achievable efficiency and the motivation of the approach which is to enhance the performance of Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system to detect a tumor in the human brain. Even though numerous support systems have been introduced in the past, this is still an open problem seeking for an accurate and robust decision support system. The Interactive Diagnosis Support System (IDSS) approach has addressed the limitations of nonillumination and low contrast of a brain tumor MR image that influences the procedure of accurate image classification. Thus, the IDSS is implemented in three phases namely image preprocessing for enhancing non-illuminated features, feature extraction and image classification which is accomplished using two-stage interactive SVM Classification. The local binary patterns are detected in the feature extraction for accurate classification of usual and unusual brain MR Images. The experimental outcomes for this approach are carried out using MATLAB R2016a and evaluated using the brain images downloaded from the Internet. The performance metrics such as structured similarity index, sensitivity, specificity and accuracy were used to assess the IDSS-based tumor classification system. When compared with the traditional classifiers such as ANFIS, Backpropagation and K-NN, the IDSS approach has significant brain tumor classification accuracy.

A novel approach for segmentation and classification of brain MR images using cluster deformable based fusion approach.

Segmentation of tumor form brain MR images is the most important and tedious task in the medical field. In this paper, A Cluster deformable based fusion approach which uses both deformable and K-Means clustering scheme for Segmentation is discussed. The features of tumor and non tumor cases are extracted with the use of the Power Local Binary Pattern (LBP) Operator after completion of the segmentation process. The extracted features are fed to Naive Bayes classifier to perform the process of classification. Here, the validation of the proposed system is done using standard validation methods such as accuracy, specificity, sensitivity and RoC metrics. The developed method is applied for MR images collected from standard SimBRATS database. Experimentation results shows that the proposed method performs better when compared to the traditional clustering and deformable methods and this scheme got accuracy of 84.8%.
