Technique for Tumor Detection Upon Brain MRI Image by Utilizing Support Vector Machine

Abstract

Medicinal images assume a key part in the diagnosis of tumors. In a similar way, MRI could be the cutting edge regenerative imaging technology which permits corner sectional perspective of the body, facilitating the specialists to inspect the affected person. The detailed MRI images enable the medical specialists to recognize minor improvements of structures throughout the body, and serve as a basic part in finding and treatment planning. In this paper, we address the issue of classifying a brain MRI image to predict whether it contains a tumorous part or not. We utilize Histogram of Oriented Gradients (HoG) features to train a Support Vector Machine (SVM) to efficiently predict an MRI image to contain a tumorous part. Before applying the trained SVM classifier on the test MRI images, we also perform image enhancement to increase the accuracy of the prediction. Our experimental results show an impressive accuracy of the proposed technique.
