Abstract:
Brain cancer is one of the most fatal types of disease, which is caused by an abnormally growing mass of defective
brain tissue. Generally, brain cancer can be divided into benign and malignant, however, based on the World Health
Organization, it can also be divided into grade I, II, III, and IV tumors. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) has
become a crucial tool in the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors. However, accurately classifying brain tumor
images from MRI scans remains a challenging task due to the complexity and heterogeneity of tumor characteristics.
This paper presents a Support Vector Machine (SVM) based classification method for brain tumor classification. The
proposed method comprises steps such as noise reduction, segmentation, and feature extraction which were
employed using the median filter or wavelet transform, Otsu’s thresholding, and Gray-Level Co-occurrence Matrix,
respectively. Finally, classifications were performed using a Support Vector Machine which achieved a 99.9 %
accuracy using a dataset of 24 MRI images comprising 13 Malignant and 11 Benign brain tumors for training and 16
images for testing. When compared to previous approaches, the study’s findings show a considerable improvement
in the ability to classify images of brain tumors.
