What is a Brain Tumor? A brain tumor is a collection or mass of abnormal cells in the brain. Since the skull is a rigid structure, any growth inside this confined space can cause serious complications. Brain tumors can be cancerous (malignant) or noncancerous (benign). As they grow, they can increase pressure inside the skull, potentially leading to brain damage or even becoming life-threatening.
Early classification of brain tumors is a critical area of research in medical imaging. Accurate and timely diagnosis enables healthcare professionals to choose the most effective treatment methods, ultimately saving lives.
This project applies deep learning techniques to improve brain tumor diagnosis using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). It utilizes a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model to classify brain tumors from MRI scans images.This CNN model has ability to classify the type of brain tumor present in the MRI image. Glioma, Meningioma, Pituitary tumor are the tumor cancer types detected using this CNN model architecture. This approach enables fast, reliable, and automated support for clinical decision-making.
