PrinciResNet Brain Tumor Classification Technique for Multimodal Input-level Fusion Network.

Brain tumors are a leading cause of mortality in India, with over 28,000 cases reported annually, resulting in more than 24,000 deaths per year as per the International Association of Cancer Registries. Early detection, segmentation, and accurate classification are crucial in effective tumor analysis, and various algorithms have been developed to achieve this. This study proposes a new approach for the detection and classification of Meningioma and Sarcoma brain tumors using both single slices of MRI and CT, as well as input-level fused images of MRI & CT. Our approach involves the implementation of the PrinciResNet16 model for classification of brain tumors. This model is based on Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and ResNet techniques. We report that our approach significantly improves the accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity parameters to 99%, 95%, and 95%, respectively, based on a dataset of 600 fused slices and 1000 single slices obtained from reputable sources. Our findings hold promise for better brain tumour detection and therapy, which are a significant cause of mortality globally. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
