Abstract— A brain tumor is a collection of anomalous cells that grow in or around the brain. Brain tumors
affect the humans badly, it can disrupt proper brain function and be life-threatening. In this project, we
have proposed a system to detect, segment, and classify the tumors present in the brain. Once the brain
tumor is identified at the very beginning, proper treatments can be done and it may be cured.
Keywords — tumor, life-threatening, cancer.
I. INTRODUCTION
A tumor is a collection or mass of abnormal cells that occur
in various parts of the body. A tumor can result in cancer,
which is the main reason for death and accounts for around
13% of every death world-wide. The cancer occurrence
rate is rising at an alarming rate in the world. Therefore,
tumor detection is significant in previous stages. The mast
of abnormal cells that grow in or around the brain is called
a brain tumor. It poses a risk to the healthy brain by either
destroying or invading normal brain tissue. Brain tumors
can be malignant (brain cancer) or benign (do not contain
cancer cells). They may be primary (originate in the brain)
or metastatic (cancer cells elsewhere in the body travel to
the brain). The exact cause of brain cancer is unknown.
However, factors that can elevate the risk of brain cancer
include exposure to high doses of ionizing radiation and a
family history of brain cancer. If brain cancer had occurred
the doctor may order for imaging tests like MRI, head CT,
and head PET. But MRI is the most effective and
extensively used technique for brain tumor detection.
Treatment will depend on the size and type of the tumor, its
growth rate, and the person’s general health. Options
include radiation therapy, chemotherapy, surgery, targeted
biological therapy, or a combination thereof. Brain tumors
are categorized based on where the tumor is located, the
type of tissue involved, whether the tumor is benign or
malignant, and other factors.
Identification of brain tumor from MRI consist of different
stages. Segmentation is termed to be a significant but tough
step for the classification of medical imaging and its
analysis. Therefore, it is important that the segmentation of
the MRI images should be done precisely before asking the
processor for an accurate diagnosis. This project has
focused on verifying the accuracy and efficiency of brain
tumor detection via segmentation technique for MRI
images of the brain.
II. LITERATURE SURVEY
1. Brain Tumor Segmentation Using Convolutional
Neural Network In MRI
Brain tumor segmentation methodology is based on
Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN), by exploring into
small 3x3 kernels. The employment of small kernels
permits coming up with a deeper architecture, besides
having a positive impact against overfitting, given the less
variety of masses within the network and also investigating
on the utilization of intensity normalization as a pre-
processing step, which is not common in Convolution
Neural Network-based segmentation methods, and well-
tried in conjunction with information augmentation to be
intolerably in effect for neoplasm segmentation in magnetic
resonance images.
2. Semantic Image Segmentation with Deep
Convolutional Nets, Atrous Convolution, and Fully
Connected CRFS
In this paper, the task of semantic image segmentation with
Deep Learning is labeled and made some main
contributions that are experimentally shown to have
substantial merit. First, it highlights convolution with
upsampled filters, or ‘atrous convolution’, as a powerful
tool in dense prediction tasks. Atrous convolution allows us
to directly control the resolution at which feature responses
are computed within Deep Convolutional Neural Networks.
It also allows us to successfully enlarge the field of view of
filters to incorporate larger context without elevating the

number of parameters or the amount of computation.
Second, atrous spatial pyramid pooling (ASPP) offers to
robustly segment objects at multiple scales. ASPP inspects
an incoming convolutional layer with filters at multiple
sampling rates and constructive fields-of-views, thus
acquiring image context at multiple scales.
we also improve the localization of object boundaries
by integrating methods from DCNNs and
probabilistic graphical models.
3. The Multimodal Brain Tumor Image
Segmentation Benchmark (BRATS)
In this paper, it reports the structure and consequence of
the Multimodal Brain Tumor Image Segmentation
Benchmark organized in conjunction with the MICCAI
2012 conference. 20 advanced tumor segmentation
algorithms were put into a set of 65 multi-contrast MRI
(Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans of low-grade and
high-grade glioma patients manually interpreted and to 65
comparable scans generated using tumor image
simulation program. Quantitative evaluations revealed a
substantial dispute between the human raters in
segmenting various tumor sub-regions illustrating the
difficulty of the task. It is found that different algorithms
worked best for different sub-regions (reaching
performance comparable to human variability), but that
no single method ranked in the top for all sub-regions
simultaneously.
4. Brain Tumor Segmentation by a Generative
Model with a Prior on Tumor Shape
This paper presents a fully automated generative method
for brain tumor segmentation in multi-modal magnetic
resonance images. It bases the method on the type of
generative model often used for healthy brain tissues,
where tissues are modeled by Gaussian mixture models
combined with a spatial tissue prior. We extend the basic
model with a tumor prior, which uses convolutional
restricted Boltzmann machines to the model tumor shape.
Experiments on the 2015 and 2013 BRATS data sets
indicate that the method's performance is comparable to
the current state of the art in the field while being readily
extendable to any number of input contrasts and not tied
to any specific imaging protocol.
5. NiftyNet: a deep-learning platform for medical
imaging
This paper presents the open-source NiftyNet platform for
deep learning in medical imaging. The NiftyNet
infrastructure enables a deep-learning pipeline for a large
scale of medical imaging applications together with
segmentation, image generation, regression, and
representation learning applications. Components of the
NiftyNet pipeline including data loading, network
architectures, data augmentation, loss functions, and
evaluation metrics. NiftyNet is built on the TensorFlow
framework and supports certain features like TensorBoard
visualization and computational graphs by default. The
NiftyNet infrastructure helps researchers to swiftly
develop deep learning solutions for regression,
segmentation, image generation, and representation
learning applications.
III. EXISTING SYSTEM
The existing system describes the cellular automation of
segmentation. The technique is used in interactive multi-
label segmentation for N-dimensional images. It segments
the areas which are more difficult to segment. The method
is iterative, giving feedback to the user while the
segmentation is computed.
IV. PROPOSED SYSTEM
In this project, MRI Brain images of a patient are taken as
input. The images are pre-processed and further segmented
for the required feature. Then feature Extraction is done for
the images by GLCM features. Region of interest (ROI)
segmentation is applied in order to identify the affected
portion of tumor. Here the threshold required for
segmenting adjusts itself according to the segmented area
and position. Finally, classification applied through deep
neural networks then results in the image that will be
compared with the dataset images and it will display
whether it is benign or malignant.

1.PREPROCESSING
In this module, if the input images are color images they
are converted to grayscale from that color images. In image
enhancement, the goal is to highlight certain image features
for upcoming analysis or for image display. Some
examples are contrast and edge enhancement, noise
filtering, sharpening, pseudo-coloring, and magnifying.
Image enhancement is useful in feature extraction, image
display, and image analysis. The median filter is used in
order to remove the noise from the image. Median filtering
is a nonlinear operation frequently used in image

processing to diminish salt and pepper noise. A median
filter is more effective than convolution when the goal is to
simultaneously decrease noise and preserve edges. Here the
region of Interest (ROI) algorithm is used in order to
segment the portion of defected areas.
2. SEGMENTATION
In this module, image features like color, weight, depth,
and pixel information are to be applied before the
classification. Image segmentation is usually used to locate
objects and boundaries in images. Explicitly image
segmentation is the process of allocating a label to every
pixel in an image such that pixels with the same label share
certain characteristics. The outcome of image segmentation
is a set of segments that collectively cover the entire image
or a set of outline extracted from the image. Each of the
pixels in a stretch is alike with respect to some
characteristic or computed property, such as color,
intensity, or texture.
3. BACK PROBAGATION
This module is used to establish the backpropagation neural
network concept for training the image and testing the
image with the help of a weight estimating classifier. The
segmented image is made to undergo backpropagation. In
backpropagation, the segmented image is compared with
the dataset images. During the comparison, the segmented
tumor is checked for resemblance that may be present
within the dataset. After comparison, it will display
whether the tumor is normal or abnormal.

VII. CONCLUSION
Anomalous growth of tissues in the brain which affect
proper brain functions is considered as a brain tumor. The
main goal of medical image processing is to identify
meaningful and accurate information using images with the
least error possible. Brain tumor identifications through
MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images is a tedious
task because of the complexity of the brain. These tumors
can be efficiently segmented using various image
segmentation techniques. The process of identifying brain
tumors through MRI images can be classified under four
different sections; pre-processing, image segmentation,
feature extraction, and image classification. Thresholding is
an effective and easiest approach among image
segmentation techniques. It easy to implement and
frequently used these days. When the contrast between the
foreground object and the background object is
comparatively high, the threshold technique works well.
Finally, the message box will display whether the tumor is
normal or abnormal.
VIII. FUTURE ENHANCEMENT
Future work would utilize a more sophisticated
segmentation algorithm. Upon successful implementation
of the proposed system, another system would be
developed to detect, segment, and classify tumor cells
based on the MRI image with a very high level of
accuracy.
