Deep Learning Techniques for Prediction, Detection, and Segmentation of Brain Tumors

Abstract

In deep learning, the main techniques of neural networks, namely artificial neural network, convolutional neural network, recurrent neural network, and deep neural networks, are found to be very effective for medical data analyses. In this chapter, application of the techniques, viz., ANN, CNN, DNN, for detection of tumors in numerical and image data of brain tumor is presented. First, the case of ANN application is discussed for the prediction of the brain tumor for which the disease symptoms data in numerical form is the input. ANN modelling was implemented for classification of human ethnicity. Next the detection of the tumors from images is discussed for which CNN and DNN techniques are implemented. Other techniques discussed in this study are HSV color space, watershed segmentation and morphological operation, fuzzy entropy level set, which are used for segmenting tumor in brain tumor images. The FCN-8 and FCN-16 models are used to produce a semantic segmentation on the various images. In general terms, the techniques of deep learning detected the tumors by training image dataset.
