A DenseNet-Based Deep Learning Framework for Automated Brain Tumor Classification
Journal Title: Healthcraft Frontiers - Year 2024, Vol 2, Issue 4
Abstract
Brain tumors represent a critical medical condition where early and accurate detection is paramount for effective treatment and improved patient outcomes. Traditional diagnostic methods relying on Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are often labor-intensive, time-consuming, and susceptible to human error, underscoring the need for more reliable and efficient approaches. In this study, a novel deep learning (DL) framework based on the Densely Connected Convolutional Network (DenseNet) architecture is proposed for the automated classification of brain tumors, aiming to enhance diagnostic precision and streamline medical image analysis. The framework incorporates adaptive filtering for noise reduction, Mask Region-based Convolutional Neural Network (Mask R-CNN) for precise tumor segmentation, and Gray Level Co-occurrence Matrix (GLCM) for robust feature extraction. The DenseNet architecture is employed to classify brain tumors into four categories: gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary tumors, and non-tumor cases. The model is trained and evaluated using the Kaggle MRI dataset, achieving a state-of-the-art classification accuracy of 96.96%. Comparative analyses demonstrate that the proposed framework outperforms traditional methods, including Back Propagation (BP), U-Net, and Recurrent Convolutional Neural Network (RCNN), in terms of sensitivity, specificity, and precision. The experimental results highlight the potential of integrating advanced DL techniques with medical image processing to significantly improve diagnostic accuracy and efficiency. This study not only provides a robust and reliable solution for brain tumor detection but also underscores the transformative impact of DL in medical imaging, offering radiologists a powerful tool for faster and more accurate diagnosis.
