Diagnosis of Brain Tumor Using Light Weight Deep Learning Model with Fine-Tuning Approach

Source abstract

Brain cancer is a rare and deadly disease with a slim chance of survival. One of the most important tasks for neurologists and radiologists is to detect brain tumors early. Recent claims have been made that computer-aided diagnosis-based systems can diagnose brain tumors by employing magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) as a supporting technology. We propose transfer learning approaches for a deep learning model to detect malignant tumors, such as glioblastoma, using MRI scans in this study. This paper presents a deep learning-based approach for brain tumor identification and classification using the state-of-the-art object detection framework YOLO (You Only Look Once). The YOLOv5 is a novel object detection deep learning technique that requires limited computational architecture than its competing models. The study used the Brats 2021 dataset from the RSNA-MICCAI brain tumor radio genomic classification. The dataset has images annotated from RSNA-MICCAI brain tumor radio genomic competition dataset using the make sense an AI online tool for labeling dataset. The preprocessed data is then divided into testing and training for the model. The YOLOv5 model provides a precision of 88 percent. Finally, our model is tested across the whole dataset, and it is concluded that it is able to detect brain tumors successfully.
