Abstract

Brain tumor segmentation and classification play a crucial role in the diagnosis and treatment planning of brain tumors. Accurate and efficient methods for identifying tumor regions and classifying different tumor types are essential for guiding medical interventions. This study comprehensively reviews brain tumor segmentation and classification techniques, exploring various approaches based on image processing, machine learning, and deep learning. Furthermore, our study aims to review existing methodologies, discuss their advantages and limitations, and highlight recent advancements in this field. The impact of existing segmentation and classification techniques for automated brain tumor detection is also critically examined using various open-source datasets of Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) of different modalities. Moreover, our proposed study highlights the challenges related to segmentation and classification techniques and datasets having various MRI modalities to enable researchers to develop innovative and robust solutions for automated brain tumor detection. The results of this study contribute to the development of automated and robust solutions for analyzing brain tumors, ultimately aiding medical professionals in making informed decisions and providing better patient care.Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Ltd.
