A review on the recent segmentation and tumor grade classification techniques of brain Magnetic Resonance (MR) Images is the objective of this paper. The requisite for early detection of a brain tumor and its grade is the motivation for this study. In Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), the tumor might appear clear but physicians need quantification of the tumor area for further treatment. This is where the digital image processing methodologies along with machine learning aid further diagnosis, treatment, prior and post-surgical procedures, synergizing between the radiologist and computer. These hybrid techniques provide a second opinion and assistance to radiologists in understanding medical images hence improving diagnostic accuracy. This article aims to retrospect the current trends in segmentation and classification relevant to tumor infected human brain MR images with a target on gliomas which include astrocytoma. The methodologies used for extraction and grading of tumors which can be integrated into the standard clinical imaging protocols are elucidated. Lastly, a crucial assessment of the state of the art, future developments and trends are dissertated. © 2017 Elsevier Ltd

The automated brain tumor segmentation methods are challenging due to the diverse nature of tumors. Recently, the graph based spectral clustering method is utilized for brain tumor segmentation to make high-quality segmentation output. In this paper, a new Walsh Hadamard Transform (WHT) texture for superpixel based spectral clustering is proposed for segmentation of a brain tumor from multimodal MRI images. First, the selected kernels of WHT are utilized for creating texture saliency maps and it becomes the input for the Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) algorithm, to generate more precise texture based superpixels. Then the texture superpixels become nodes in the graph of spectral clustering for segmenting brain tumors of MRI images. Finally, the original members of superpixels are recovered to represent Complete Tumor (CT), Tumor Core (TC) and Enhancing Tumor (ET) tissues. The observational results are taken out on BRATS 2015 datasets and evaluated using the Dice Score (DS), Hausdorff Distance (HD) and Volumetric Difference (VD) metrics. The proposed method produces competitive results than other existing clustering methods. © 2019 AGBM

Walsh Hadamard Transform for Simple Linear Iterative Clustering (SLIC) Superpixel Based Spectral Clustering of Multimodal MRI Brain Tumor Segmentation

The automated brain tumor segmentation methods are challenging due to the diverse nature of tumors. Recently, the graph based Spectral Clustering (SC) method is utilized for brain tumor segmentation to create high-quality clusters. In this article, a new superpixel based SC using the Walsh Hadamard texture feature for multimodal brain tumor segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Image is proposed. The selected kernels of Walsh Hadamard Transform (WHT) are projected on equal size blocks of the image for texture feature extraction. The texture feature strength of each block is considered as superpixels, and these superpixels become nodes in the graph of SC. Finally, the original members of superpixels are recovered to represent Complete Tumor (CT), Tumor Core (TC), and Enhancing Tumor (ET) tissues. The observational results are brought out on BRATS 2015 data sets and evaluated using the Dice Score (DS), Hausdorff Distance, and Volumetric Difference metrics. The proposed method has produced competitive results with a DS of 0.83 for CT, 0.75 for TC, and 0.73 for ET, respectively, for high-grade images. In case of low-grade images, the proposed method achieves DS of 0.78 for CT, 0.68 for TC, and 0.60 for ET, respectively. The proposed method produces results better than other existing clustering methods. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Walsh Hadamard kernel-based texture feature for multimodal MRI brain tumour segmentation

Brain forms a significant part of the human body but has a complex structure which makes it difficult to examine the brain abnormalities. Brain tumor is one of the significant diseases and various technologies are used to detect and diagnose brain tumor by non-invasive method. Magnetic Resonance Images being one of the best is directly being analyzed by the doctors for the diagnosis of tumor which is time-consuming. Automatic detection and classification of tumor makes diagnosis easy for the doctors and can provide a valuable outlook of earlier methods. The proposed method has been implemented in two different approaches, for the analysis of MR images to identify the tumor grade (Low/High). The first approach gave results of 92.5% accuracy which was found to be better than the second approach of 87.5% accuracy. This design is easy to use and the results ensure that it is efficient, and satisfying for quick detection of the grade of tumor. © 2017 IEEE.
