Abstract

Computer technologies are playing huge roles in some areas of the medical domain like surgery and therapy of different diseases. Researchers are doing studies and trying to experiment to detect different diseases like cancer, virus infections, and leprosy. There are many different medical imaging datasets that are publicly available for medical research purposes of diseases like cancer, virus infections, and leprosy, etc. where we can be able to access large databases free of cost. Brain tumor detection is an active and vast area of research in image processing. A brain tumor is one of the diseases which leads to a mortality rate of the human species. The brain is one of the crucial parts of the human body where maximum problems occur. The development of blood lumps or abnormal cells by birth in the brain or due to some accidental brain damage is very common nowadays. Blood lumps or abnormal cells are called tumors, and they can again be divided into many types. In this project, the methodology is proposed to detect brain tumors by segmentation, normalization, and feature extraction from magnetic resonance images, and neural networks are used for tumor classification and detection. First, the MR images are converted into jpeg or jpg image format and are given as input, then they are added to an array, and images get labeled and resized, and after that images are split into two batches train and test. Train and test image batches are then passed through feature extraction processes and are feeded to the convolutional neural network. After feeding the model is trained. Through this research project, we can build a classification model that would take brain MRI images of the patient and by computing those images the model predicts whether the brain is having a tumor or not.
