Accurate Segmentation of Brain Tumors in Magnetic Resonance Images with Pyramid Stage Decomposition Network Approach

Abstract

This study explores the utilization of the Pyramid Scene Parsing Network (PSPNet) architecture to achieve accurate segmentation of brain tumors in magnetic resonance (MR) images. Experimental evaluations were conducted on different pre-trained backbone network models, including Vgg16, Inceptionv3, Mobilenetv2, Efficientnetb0, Resnet18, Resnet34, Resnet50, Resnet101, Resnext50, and Resnext101, assessing the performance of each model in brain tumor segmentation. The results highlight the VGG16-PSPNet model as the most successful, showcasing high F1-score, mIoU, precision, recall, and accuracy values.
