Brain Tumor Segmentation Using Deep Learning by Type Specific Sorting of Images
This work addresses the need for high-accuracy brain tumor diagnosis in medical imaging, but it appears incremental as it builds on existing deep learning methods.
The paper tackled brain tumor segmentation from MR images by comparing single versus multiple deep learning networks, achieving Dice scores of 0.73 and 0.79 respectively.
Recently deep learning has been playing a major role in the field of computer vision. One of its applications is the reduction of human judgment in the diagnosis of diseases. Especially, brain tumor diagnosis requires high accuracy, where minute errors in judgment may lead to disaster. For this reason, brain tumor segmentation is an important challenge for medical purposes. Currently several methods exist for tumor segmentation but they all lack high accuracy. Here we present a solution for brain tumor segmenting by using deep learning. In this work, we studied different angles of brain MR images and applied different networks for segmentation. The effect of using separate networks for segmentation of MR images is evaluated by comparing the results with a single network. Experimental evaluations of the networks show that Dice score of 0.73 is achieved for a single network and 0.79 in obtained for multiple networks.
