This paper proposes a methodology for brain tumor segmentation using a combination of Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy K-means algorithm, involving noise removal, attribute extraction and selection, classification, and segmentation stages. The proposed approach achieves high accuracy and sensitivity in segmenting brain tumor regions.
The primary objective of this paper is to develop a methodology for brain tumor segmentation. Nowadays, brain tumor recognition and fragmentation is one among the pivotal procedure in surgical and medication planning arrangements. It is difficult to segment the tumor area from MRI images due to inaccessibility of edge and appropriately visible boundaries. In this paper, a combination of Artificial Neural Network and Fuzzy K-means algorithm has been presented to segment the tumor locale. It contains four phases, (1) Noise evacuation (2) Attribute extraction and selection (3) Classification and (4) Segmentation. Initially, the procured image is denoised utilizing wiener filter, and then the significant GLCM attributes are extricated from the images. Then Deep Learning based classification has been performed to classify the abnormal images from the normal images. Finally, it is processed through the Fuzzy K-Means algorithm to segment the tumor region separately. This proposed segmentation approach has been verified on BRATS dataset and produces the accuracy of 94%, sensitivity of 98% specificity of 99%, Jaccard index of 96%. The overall accuracy of this proposed technique has been improved by 8% when compared with K-Nearest Neighbor methodology.
