Detection and Classification of Tumors in Brain based on the Location by using MRI

Brain tumor is a serious disease occurring in human being. Medical treatment process mainly depends on tumor types and its location. The final decision of neuro specialist and radiologist for the tumor diagnosis mainly depend on evaluation of MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images. To overcome this, Faster R-CNN deep learning algorithm was proposed for detecting the tumor and marking the area of their occurrence with Region Proposal Network (RPN). The selected MR image dataset consists of three primary brain tumors namely glioma, meningioma and pituitary. The proposed algorithm uses VGG-19 architecture as a base layer for both the region proposal network and the classifier network.
