Multigrade brain tumor classification in MRI images using Fine tuned efficientnet

Abstract

Medical imaging plays a vital role in detecting and treating brain tumors. Malignant or non-malignant brain tissue’s abnormal growth causes long-term brain damage. It is crucial to detect and properly categorize the kind of brain tumor. Specialists normally use MRI to create high-contrast grayscale brain images to segment them. Convolutional neural networks (CNN) driven by deep learning (DL) have transformed computer-assisted testing systems by producing good results in a wide range of medical imaging analytics applications, including tumor diagnosis in the brain. The paper introduces a lightweight fine-tuned Convolutional Neural Network EfficientNet ’ECNN’ to detect brain tumors. In this study, we provide a transfer learning-based measurement strategy for grouping cerebrum growths in three distinct datasets with different classifications, such as meningioma, glioma, and pituitary growth, using fine-tuned EfficientNets. The findings of this research rely on Efficient Nets to classify brain tumors in three different types of datasets utilizing a fine-tuned transfer learning mechanism. With EfficientNetV2S as the system’s foundation, our proposed way of fine-tunned pre-trained EfficientNetV2S model outperformed for all datasets over state of the art methods. The effectiveness of the suggested model has been assessed using performance metrics, and outcomes were compared to those produced using state-of-the-art approaches. The average test accuracy, recall, precision, and sensitivity score are 98.48%, 98%, 98.5%, and 98.71%, respectively.
