Brain metastases are tumors formed when malignant cells from other parts of the body spread to the brain. This condition is often a sign of advanced cancer, as the malignant cells have traveled to the brain through the blood or lymphatic system. Misdiagnosing the type of brain metastasis can hinder effective medical interventions and reduce the patient’s chances of survival. Therefore, this study aims to develop a method for automatically detecting brain metastases in MRI scans with high accuracy. We propose a new method for classifying brain metastases using the GoogLeNet network framework, incorporating the CA attention module, and replacing the activation function with Hard Swish. The results demonstrate that our proposed CNN network is beneficial for clinical diagnosis, achieving an ACC score of 0.894 and an AUC of 0.941.

摘要

Brain metastases are tumors formed when malignant cells from other parts of the body spread to the brain. This condition is often a sign of advanced cancer, as the malignant cells have traveled to the brain through the blood or lymphatic system. Misdiagnosing the type of brain metastasis can hinder effective medical interventions and reduce the patient’s chances of survival. Therefore, this study aims to develop a method for automatically detecting brain metastases in MRI scans with high accuracy. We propose a new method for classifying brain metastases using the GoogLeNet network framework, incorporating the CA attention module, and replacing the activation function with Hard Swish. The results demonstrate that our proposed CNN network is beneficial for clinical diagnosis, achieving an ACC score of 0.894 and an AUC of 0.941.
