Fuzzy Logic-Based System for Brain Tumour Detection and Classification

NVSL Narasimham, Keshav Kumar K

Brain Tumours (BT) are extremely dangerous and difficult to treat. Currently, doctors must manually examine images and manually mark out tumour regions to diagnose BT; this process is time-consuming and error-prone. In recent times, experts have proposed automating approaches for detecting BT at an early stage. The poor accuracy and highly incorrect prediction results of these methods caused them to start the research. In this study, we suggest a fuzzy logic-based system for categorising BT. This study used a dataset of 253 Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) brain images that included tumour and healthy images. The images were first pre-processed. After that, we pull out features like tumour size and the image's global threshold value. The watershed and region-growing approach is used to calculate the tumour size. After that, the fuzzy system receives the two features as input. Accuracy, F1-score, precision, and recall are used to assess the results of the fuzzy by employing both size determination approaches. With the size input variable discovered by the region growth method and global threshold values, the fuzzy system outperforms the watershed method. The significance of this research lies in its potential to revolutionize brain tumour diagnosis by offering a more accurate and efficient automated classification system. By reducing human intervention and providing reliable results, this approach could assist medical professionals in making timely and precise decisions, leading to improved patient outcomes and potentially saving lives. The advancement of such automated techniques has the potential to pave the way for enhanced medical imaging analysis and, ultimately, better management of brain tumour cases.
