Abstract

The early detection of brain tumors is very important for treating them and improving the quality of life for patients. Through advanced imaging techniques, doctors can now make more informed decisions. This paper introduces a framework for a tumor detection system capable of grading gliomas. The system's implementation begins with the acquisition and analysis of brain magnetic resonance images. Key features indicative of tumors and gliomas are extracted and classified as independent components. A deep learning model is then employed to categorize these gliomas. The proposed model classifies gliomas into three primary categories: meningioma, pituitary, and glioma. Performance evaluation demonstrates a high level of accuracy (99.21%), specificity (98.3%), and sensitivity (97.83%). Further research and validation are essential to refine the system and ensure its clinical applicability. The development of accurate and efficient tumor detection systems holds significant promise for enhancing patient care and improving survival rates.
