| description | Brain tumors are complex clinical lesions with diverse morphological characteristics, making accurate segmentation from MRI scans a challenging task. Manual segmentation by radiologists is time-consuming and susceptible to human error. Consequently, automated approaches are anticipated to accurately delineate tumor boundaries and quantify tumor burden, addressing these challenges efficiently. The presented work integrates a convolutional block attention module (CBAM) into a deep learning architecture to enhance the accuracy of MRI-based brain tumor segmentation. The deep learning network is built upon a VGG19-based U-Net model, augmented with depthwise and pointwise convolutions to improve feature extraction and processing efficiency during brain tumor segmentation. Furthermore, the proposed framework enhances segmentation precision while simultaneously incorporating tumor area measurement, making it a comprehensive tool for early-stage tumor analysis. Several qualitative assessments are used to assess the performance of the model in terms of tumor segmentation analysis. The qualitative metrics typically analyze the overlap between predicted tumor masks and ground truth annotations, providing information on the segmentation algorithms’ accuracy and dependability. Following segmentation, a new approach is used to compute the extent of segmented tumor areas in MRI scans. This involves counting the number of pixels within the segmented tumor masks and multiplying by their area or volume. The computed tumor areas offer quantifiable data for future investigation and clinical interpretation. In general, the proposed methodology is projected to improve segmentation accuracy, efficiency, and clinical relevance compared to existing methods, resulting in better diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring of patients with brain tumors. |
