Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: The central organ of the human nervous system is the brain, which receives and sends stimuli to the various parts of the body to engage in daily activities. Uncontrolled growth of brain cells can result in tumors which affect the normal functions of healthy brain cells. An automatic reliable technique for detecting tumors is imperative to assist medical practitioners in the timely diagnosis of patients. Although machine learning models are being used, with minimal data availability to train, development of low-order based models integrated with machine learning are a tool for reliable detection.
