A brain tumor forms when some tissue becomes old or damaged but does not die when it must, preventing new tissue from being born. Manually finding such masses in the brain by analyzing MRI images is challenging and time-consuming for experts. In this study, our main objective is to detect the brain's tumorous part, allowing rapid diagnosis to treat the primary disease instantly. With image processing techniques and deep learning prediction algorithms, our research makes a system capable of finding a tumor in MRI images of a brain automatically and accurately. Our tumor segmentation adopts the U-Net deep learning segmentation on the standard MICCAI BRATS 2018 dataset, which has MRI images with different modalities. The proposed approach was evaluated and achieved Dice Coefficients of 0.9795, 0.9855, 0.9793, and 0.9950 across several test datasets. These results show that the proposed system achieves excellent segmentation of tumors in MRIs using deep learning techniques such as the U-Net algorithm.

Brain tumors, characterized by uncontrollable cellular growths, are a significant global health challenge. Navigating the complexities of tumor identification due to their varied dimensions and positions, our research introduces enhanced methods for precise detection. Utilizing advanced learning techniques, we've improved early identification by preprocessing clinical dataset-derived images, augmenting them via a Generative Adversarial Network, and applying an Improved Privacy-Preserving Collaborative Convolutional Neural Network (IPC-CNN) for segmentation. Recognizing the critical importance of data security in today's digital era, our framework emphasizes the preservation of patient privacy. We evaluated the performance of our proposed model on the Figshare and BRATS 2018 datasets. By facilitating a collaborative model training environment across multiple healthcare institutions, we harness the power of distributed computing to securely aggregate model updates, ensuring individual data protection while leveraging collective expertise. Our IPC-CNN model achieved an accuracy of 99.40%, marking a notable advancement in brain tumor classification and offering invaluable insights for both the medical imaging and machine learning communities.

최근 빅데이터 과학은 사회현상 모델링을 통한 예측은 물론 강화학습과 결합하여 산업분야 자동제어까지 응용범위가 확대되고 있다. 이러한 추세 가운데 이미지 영상 데이터 활용연구는 화학, 제조, 농업, 바이오산업 등 다양한 산업분야에서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 논문은 신경망 기술을 활용하여 영상 데이터의 시맨틱 분할 성능을 개선하고자, U-Net의 계산효율성을 개선한 DeepU-Net 신경망에 AutoML 강화학습 알고리즘을 구현한 NASNet을 결합하였다. BRATS2015 MRI 데이터을 활용해 성능 검증을 수행하였다. 학습을 수행한 결과 DeepU-Net은 U-Net 신경망 구조보다 계산속도 향상 뿐 아니라 예측 정확도도 동등 이상의 성능이 있음을 확인하였다. 또한 이미지 시맨틱 분할 성능을 개선하기 위해서는 일반적으로 적용하는 드롭아웃 층을 빼고, DeepU-Net에 강화학습을 통해 구한 커널과 필터 수를 신경망의 하이퍼 파라미터로 선정했을 때 DeepU-Net보다 학습정확도는 0.5%, 검증정확도는 0.3% 시맨틱 분할 성능을 개선할 수 있었다. 향후 본 논문에서 시도한 자동화된 신경망을 활용해 MRI 뇌 영상진단은 물론, 열화상 카메라를 통한 이상진단, 비파괴 검사 진단, 화학물질 누출감시, CCTV를 통한 산불감시 등 다양한 분야에 응용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
