Meetali, R.M. Samant, Parimal Bartakke, Jayesh Mohite, Subhasini Priya . Brain Tumor MRI Image Processing and Classification by Edge Detection using ML Algorithms. International Journal of Computer Applications. 184, 13 ( May 2022), 55-59. DOI=10.5120/ijca2022922132
A tumor on a brain is an abnormal growth of cells in the brain, which may turn into a malignant tumor and can become fatal as per the studies suggested by various institutes such as Brain Tumor Epidemiology: Consensus from the Brain Tumor Epidemiology Consortium (The University of Texas), etc. The major problem with a brain tumor is specifying its location, shape, and size. Despite many efforts and promising results in this field of tumor detection, accurate classification from type benign to type malignant is still challenging. One of the most common methods of diagnosing brain tumors is Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) but its accuracy is not very high. The proposed system suggests a novel method for Brain Tumor Detection and Classification by using some of the prominent Machine Learning (ML) based algorithms such as Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), Support Vector Machine (SVM), and K-Nearest Neighbor (KNN). This approach is to separate images from an MRI that can be classified as type benign or type malignant. In this experimentation, K-NN has shown promising classification accuracy of 89%.
