| Summary: | This study explores existing research on neural networks, fuzzy logic-based models, and genetic algorithms applied to brain tumor classification. A systematic review of 53 studies was conducted following PRISMA guidelines, covering search strategy, selection criteria, quality assessment, and data extraction. Articles were collected from three scientific databases: Web of Science, Scopus, and IEEE. The review primarily focuses on practical contributions, with most studies emphasizing applications over conceptual insights. Key methods in the field demonstrate significant impact and innovation. Commonly used training and testing mechanisms include dataset splitting, augmentation, and validation techniques, highlighting their widespread adoption for performance evaluation. The analysis of evaluation metrics shows that accuracy and the DICE score are the most frequently used, alongside sensitivity, specificity, recall, and other domain-specific measures. The variety of metrics underscores the need for tailored approaches based on dataset characteristics and research objectives. By highlighting trends, challenges, and research gaps, this review provides actionable insights for advancing BTC research. It offers a comprehensive overview of techniques and evaluation methods to guide future developments in this critical domain. |
