Dual-method for semantic and instance brain tumor segmentation based on UNet and mask R-CNN using MRI
摘要
Brain tumor detection is a challenge because of the fuzzy growth. The irregular boundaries of tumors lead to inaccurate segmentation of brain tumors. Therefore, to overcome such challenges, a generic segmentation method is proposed named as Javeria Amin segmentation method (JASM) which consists of two phases. The U-network segmentation model is proposed using selected hyperparameters 16 batch-size, 1e-4 learning rate, and 200 epochs for core tumor segmentation. In the second phase, the framework is designed based on the regional proposal network (RPN) model used as the backbone of the pre-trained ResNet-50 model for segmenting core and edema regions. The selected hyperparameters are used to train the framework. Both models are trained on different views of axial, coronal, and sagittal, which help to detect severe brain tumors more accurately. This work is evaluated on AJDBS-2023, Figshare Brain Tumor, BRTAS-2020, and BRTAS-2021 publicly available segmentation datasets. The proposed method provides an Average Dice Score of 0.92 ± 0.015 on AJDBS-2023, 0.92 ± 0.005 on Figshare Brain Tumor, 0.91 ± 0.09 on BRTAS-2020, 0.91 ± 0.004 on BRTAS-2021 datasets. The results prove that the segmentation method can detect the small core tumor region accurately. This method is also partially tested on real patient data in the Hospital under the supervision of expert radiologists that authenticate the contribution of this work based on good performance.
