An approach for predicting brain tumor with machine learning techniques

Abstract

The medical industry relies heavily on image processing for tumor diagnosis. Medical imaging is an ever-evolving and intricate field. Brain tumor (BT) is extremely frequent and may cause death. A BT develops when brain cells divide and grow out of control. The prognosis for people with BT can be greatly improved and the survival rate can be increased if the tumor is detected early. A single individual's brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scan comprises of multiple slices through the 3D anatomical perspective. As a result, extracting tumor from MRI scans is a difficult and time-consuming laborious task. Because of the risks associated with biopsies, an MRI-based automated BT categorization is a safer alternative. The scientific profession has worked tirelessly from the beginning of the millennium to develop an automatic BT segmentation and classification system. Therefore, there is a large body of work in the field dedicated to the study of BT research through machine learning (ML) techniques. The review paper summaries the publicly accessible benchmark datasets typically used and compares various processing approaches, feature extraction (FE), segmentation, and classification algorithms for BT. The report also emphasizes the challenges of BT detection. Our hope is that this survey will provide researchers, clinicians, and other interested parties will gain an in-depth understanding of BT segmentation and classification using ML.
