Assessment of brain tumor detection techniques and recommendation of neural network

Objectives: Brain tumor classification is amongst the most complex and challenging jobs in the computer domain. The latest advances in brain tumor detection systems (BTDS) are presented as they can inspire new researchers to deliver new architectures for effective and efficient tumor detection. Here, the data of the multi-modal brain tumor segmentation task is employed, which has been registered, skull stripped, and histogram matching is conducted with the ferrous volume of high contrast. Methods: This research further configures a capsule network (CapsNet) for brain tumor classification. Results of the latest deep neural network (NN) architectures for tumor detection are compared and presented. The VGG16 and CapsNet architectures yield the highest f1-score and precision values, followed by VGG19. Overall, ResNet152, MobileNet, and MobileNetV2 give us the lowest f1-score. Results: The VGG16 and CapsNet have produced outstanding results. However, VGG16 and VGG19 are more profound architecture, resulting in slower computation speed. The research then recommends the latest suitable NN for effective brain tumor detection. Conclusions: Finally, the work concludes with future directions and potential new architectures for tumor detection.
