Enhanced Regularized Ensemble Encoderdecoder Network for Accurate Brain Tumor Segmentation.

BACKGROUND:Segmenting tumors in MRI scans is a difficult and time-consuming task for radiologists. This is because tumors come in different shapes, sizes, and textures, making them hard to identify visually. OBJECTIVE:This study proposes a new method called the enhanced regularized ensemble encoder-decoder network (EREEDN) for more accurate brain tumor segmentation. METHODS:The EREEDN model first preprocesses the MRI data by normalizing the intensity levels. It then uses a series of autoencoder networks to segment the tumor. These autoencoder networks are trained using back-propagation and gradient descent. To prevent overfitting, the EREEDN model also uses L2 regularization and dropout mechanisms. RESULTS:The EREEDN model was evaluated on the BraTS 2020 dataset. It achieved high performance on various metrics, including accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, and dice coefficient score. The EREEDN model outperformed other methods on the BraTS 2020 dataset. CONCLUSION:The EREEDN model is a promising new method for brain tumor segmentation. It is more accurate and efficient than previous methods. Future studies will focus on improving the performance of the EREEDN model on complex tumors.
