Abstract

For a precise diagnosis and treatment plan to be planned in a clinical setting, brain tumour categorization from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) data is essential. Clinicians can efficiently monitor the course of the disease, select the best course of treatment, and gauge the effectiveness of that course of treatment with the help of fast and accurate tumour classification. Additionally, machine learning models can help radiologists make better diagnoses by lowering interpretation errors and enhancing the quality of MRI image interpretation. Classifying brain tumours also aids in research endeavours to discover biomarkers, comprehend the biology of tumours, and create tailored treatments for various tumour subtypes. Current techniques for classifying tumours in the brain from MRI data frequently rely on labour-intensive, inconsistent manual segmentation and feature extraction. These techniques might not be able to accurately classify tumours due to minute variations in their morphology or texture. Furthermore, the accessibility and scalability of traditional procedures in clinical settings may be limited due to the need for expertise in radiology and medical imaging. Furthermore, manual feature engineering could miss significant tumour traits or not fully utilize MRI data for categorization. To overcome the shortcomings of current approaches, the suggested system makes use of machine learning techniques to improve and automate the classification of brain tumours using MRI image data. In order to extract discriminative features directly from MRI scans, this work uses machine learning algorithms. The proposed models are capable of reliably classifying brain cancers into important categories and effectively differentiating between different types of tumours by training them on large-scale MRI datasets labelled with tumour labels.
