Abstract

Brain tumors remain a critical challenge in the medical domain due to their heterogeneous nature and complex imaging characteristics. This paper explores an advanced framework combining transfer learning with EfficientNet and YOLO for precise tumor classification and segmentation. The EfficientNet-B0 model is fine-tuned using transfer learning to classify tumors into four categories: glioma, meningioma, pituitary, and no tumor. YOLOv8 is employed for high-speed, real-time segmentation. Transfer learning enhances model generalization by leveraging pre-trained weights, reducing training time, and improving performance on limited medical imaging datasets. Extensive experiments demonstrate superior performance in terms of accuracy, computational efficiency, and practical applications. This framework addresses the critical need for early and accurate tumor diagnosis, reducing the workload on medical professionals and improving treatment outcomes.

Objectives

.

Tumor Classification

To classify tumors using Transfer Learning Classification Algorithms.

Tumor Segmentation

Using YOLO to identify the Tumor affected region.

.

Categories

Different types of tumors and their characteristics. A pituitary tumor can be a glioma if it originates from glial cells in the pituitary gland, though this is less common. Meningiomas are tumors that develop from the meninges, the layers of tissue that cover the brain and spinal cord.

No Tumor

No tumor means that there is no abnormal growth or mass of cells, in the brain tissue. indicating the absence of both benign and malignant brain tumors.

Glioma Tumor

A glioma is a tumor arising from glial cells in the brain or spinal cord. Malignant gliomas are aggressive and may cause headaches, seizures, and neurological issues.

Meningioma Tumor

A Meningioma tumor is cancerous, capable of invading nearby tissues and spreading to other areas of the body, requiring aggressive treatment like surgery, chemotherapy, or radiation.

Pituitary Tumor

A pituitary tumor is an abnormal growth in the pituitary gland. It can cause hormonal imbalances, vision problems, and headaches. Meningioma pituitary tumors are rare but serious.
