description Early and accurate detection of brain tumors is vital for improving patient outcomes and treatment decisions. This study presents a Hybrid Brain Tumor Analysis (BTA) framework that integrates Moth Flame Optimization (MFO) and Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for tumor identification, segmentation, and classification using MRI scans. A hybrid segmentation approach is employed, combining K-means clustering with MFO and a custom fitness function to extract tumor regions. Feature extraction is followed by MFO-based feature selection to reduce dimensionality and enhance classification performance. The refined features are used to train a custom CNN architecture, BTA-Net, for classifying tumors into meningioma, glioma, and pituitary types. The proposed model achieves a 3.22 % improvement in classification accuracy compared to baseline methods, along with notable gains in precision (4.07 %), recall (2.46 %), and F-measure (3.25 %). Statistical validation confirms the significance of these results, making the BTA framework a robust tool for automated brain tumor analysis.
