Abstract
Brain tumor detection (BTD) is a crucial task, as early detection can save lives. Medical professionals require visual intelligence assistance to efficiently and accurately identify brain tumors. Conventional methods often result in misrecognition, highlighting a critical research gap. To address this, a novel BTD system is proposed to predict the presence of a tumor in a given MRI image. The system leverages a convolutional neural network (CNN) architecture, combined with a multi-layer perceptron (MLP) for feature extraction and understanding complex pixel patterns. An extensive ablation study was conducted to empirically analyze and identify the optimal model for the task. The findings demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing approaches. Notably, the model with two convolutional layers achieved an accuracy of 85%, while a single-layer model attained an impressive accuracy of 99.6%.
