Abstract
In the field of medical imaging, the classification of brain tumors based on histopathological analysis is a laborious and traditional approach. To address this issue, the use of deep learning techniques, specifically Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs), has become a popular trend in research and development. Our proposed solution is a novel Convolutional Neural Network that leverages transfer learning to classify brain tumors in MRI images as benign or malignant with high accuracy. We evaluated the performance of our proposed model against several existing pre-trained networks, including Res-Net, Alex-Net, U-Net, and VGG-16. Our results showed a significant improvement in prediction accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score, respectively, compared to the existing methods. Our proposed method achieved a benign and malignant classification accuracy of 99.30 and 98.40% using improved Res-Net 50. Our proposed system enhances image fusion quality and has the potential to aid in more accurate diagnoses.
