description Brain tumor diagnosis is a complex task due to the intricate anatomy of the brain and the heterogeneity of tumors. While magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is commonly used for brain imaging, accurately detecting brain tumors remains challenging. This study aims to enhance brain tumor classification via deep transfer learning architectures using fine-tuned transfer learning, an advanced approach within artificial intelligence. Deep learning methods facilitate the analysis of high-dimensional MRI data, automating the feature extraction process crucial for precise diagnoses. In this research, several transfer learning models, including InceptionResNetV2, VGG19, Xception, and MobileNetV2, were employed to improve the accuracy of tumor detection. The dataset, sourced from Kaggle, contains tumor and non-tumor images. To mitigate class imbalance, image augmentation techniques were applied. The models were pre-trained on extensive datasets and fine-tuned to recognize specific features in MRI brain images, allowing for improved classification of tumor versus non-tumor images. The experimental results show that the Xception model outperformed other architectures, achieving an accuracy of 96.11%. This result underscores its capability in high-precision brain tumor detection. The study concludes that fine-tuned deep transfer learning architectures, particularly Xception, significantly improve the accuracy and efficiency of brain tumor diagnosis. These findings demonstrate the potential of using advanced AI models to support clinical decision making, leading to more reliable diagnoses and improved patient outcomes.
