A Transfer Learning approach for AI-based classification of brain tumors

Abstract Classification of Brain Tumor (BT) is a vital assignment for assessing Tumors and making a suitable treatment. There exist numerous imaging modalities that are utilized to identify tumors in the brain. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is generally utilized for such a task because of its unrivaled quality of the image and the reality that it does not depend on ionizing radiations. The relevance of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the form of Deep Learning (DL) in the area of medical imaging has paved the path to extraordinary developments in categorizing and detecting intricate pathological conditions, like a brain tumor, etc. Deep learning has demonstrated an astounding presentation, particularly in segmenting and classifying brain tumors. In this work, the AI-based classification of BT using Deep Learning Algorithms are proposed for the classifying types of brain tumors utilizing openly accessible datasets. These datasets classify BTs into (malignant and benign). The datasets comprise 696 images on T1-weighted images for testing purposes. The projected arrangement accomplishes a noteworthy performance with the finest accuracy of 99.04%. The achieved outcome signifies the capacity of the proposed algorithm for the classification of brain tumors.
