Application of Computer-Aided Diagnosis Technology in Brain Tumour Detection
Fengmei Gao , Tao Lin
Abstract
Accurate segmentation of brain tumour means that surgeons accurately remove the tumour without damaging
other healthy tissues. At present, due to the differences in human brains, the widely used manual brain tumour
segmentation method cannot guarantee its accuracy and reliability. Therefore, it is of great social and practical
significance to work out an automatic and accurate brain tumour segmentation method based on the computeraided technology. This paper proposes a novel brain tumour segmentation method based on the deep learning
model of stacked de-noising auto-coder. Firstly, by model training, it obtains the parameters of the deep learning
network, and then it extracts high-level abstract features of the input image data through the network and uses
these features to translate the segmentation of brain tumour to the classification of image blocks. Finally, this paper
applies the proposed method for the MRI images of real brain tumour patients to carry out segmentation of brain
tumours, and then compares it with the manual brain tumour segmentation method. The results show that the
computer-aided brain tumour segmentation method is more effective and accurate and can provide reliable basis
for the removal of brain tumours by surgeons without damaging normal tissues.
