Medical image classification of brain tumor using convolutional neural network algorithm

Abstract

Brain tumor is a disease that is very dangerous for humans where this disease really needs faster and more accurate treatment. This disease requires early detection because it requires fast and accurate medical treatment. Machine learning helps solve problems by leveraging deep learning technology in the branch of machine learning. Deep learning is a technology that can detect, classify, and segment various problems in machine learning. One of the methods used in deep learning is the Convolutional Neural Network. This method is most often used in performing image processing where this method has various types of feature extraction. The purpose of this study was to test the accuracy of using the Convolutional Neural Network method in classifying brain images. The brain image used in this study is an image scanned by Magnetic Resonance Imaging. The dataset in this study was downloaded from the Kaggle website as many as 7023 data consisting of four classes of brain image data, namely glioma, notumor, meningioma, and pituitary classes. The results of this study obtained an accuracy value of 84% so that this research can be used by medical personnel to diagnose brain tumors easily, quickly, precisely, and accurately.
