Abstract
PURPOSE: The purpose of this study is to develop accurate and automated detection and segmentation methods for brain tumors, given their significant fatality rates, with aggressive malignant tumors like Glioblastoma Multiforme (GBM) having a five-year survival rate as low as 5 to 10%. This underscores the urgent need to improve diagnosis and treatment outcomes through innovative approaches in medical imaging and deep learning techniques.
