Detail Description

1. Abstract

U-Net-Based Brain-Tumour Segmentation is a deep learning project designed to identify and segment brain tumour regions from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. Accurate tumour segmentation is important for analyzing tumour location, shape, and size in medical imaging. Traditional manual segmentation requires specialist expertise and can be time-consuming. The proposed system uses the U-Net convolutional neural network architecture, which combines an encoder-decoder structure with skip connections to capture spatial information and generate pixel-level segmentation masks. MRI images are preprocessed through resizing, normalization, and suitable augmentation before training. The model learns to distinguish tumour regions from surrounding brain tissue and generates segmentation masks highlighting the detected areas. Performance is evaluated using Dice coefficient, Intersection over Union (IoU), precision, and recall. An interactive dashboard displays the input MRI image, predicted tumour mask, and overlay visualization. This project aims to support research in automated medical image segmentation and does not replace professional medical diagnosis.

2. Objectives

To develop a deep learning model for brain tumour segmentation from MRI images.
To implement the U-Net architecture for pixel-level image segmentation.
To preprocess MRI images and corresponding ground-truth masks.
To identify and visualize tumour regions in MRI scans.
To evaluate segmentation performance using Dice coefficient and IoU.
To display original images, segmentation masks, and overlays.
To develop an interactive interface for testing the trained model.

3. Existing System

Traditional brain tumour segmentation relies on manual analysis of MRI scans by radiologists and medical imaging specialists. Some automated methods use thresholding, region-growing techniques, or conventional image-processing algorithms to identify suspicious regions.

Disadvantages of the Existing System

Manual segmentation can be time-consuming.
Results may vary between specialists.
Traditional image-processing methods can struggle with complex tumour boundaries.
Variations in tumour size, shape, and intensity make segmentation challenging.
Some automated approaches have limited accuracy on diverse MRI scans.
Manual measurement of tumour regions can be labor-intensive.

4. Proposed System

The proposed system uses a U-Net-based deep learning model to generate pixel-level segmentation masks of brain tumour regions from MRI images.

The system accepts MRI images and preprocesses them through resizing, normalization, and optional augmentation. The U-Net architecture extracts spatial features through its encoder and reconstructs detailed segmentation maps through its decoder. Skip connections help preserve spatial details needed to identify tumour boundaries.

During training, the model learns from MRI images paired with ground-truth segmentation masks. A suitable loss function, such as Dice loss, binary cross-entropy, or a combined loss, is used depending on the segmentation task. The trained model generates a predicted mask, which can be overlaid on the original MRI image for visualization.

A Streamlit dashboard displays the original MRI image, predicted segmentation mask, and overlay. The system is intended for educational and research use rather than standalone clinical diagnosis.

5. Implementation Procedure

Dataset Collection: Obtain a labeled brain MRI segmentation dataset, such as BraTS, with corresponding tumour masks.
Data Preprocessing: Resize images and masks to consistent dimensions and normalize MRI intensity values.
Mask Preparation: Ensure ground-truth masks use the correct labels and align precisely with the corresponding MRI images.
Dataset Splitting: Create training, validation, and testing sets at the patient level to avoid data leakage.
Data Augmentation: Apply suitable transformations, such as rotation, flipping, and zooming, while preserving image-mask alignment.
Model Development: Implement the U-Net architecture using TensorFlow/Keras or PyTorch.
Model Training: Train the network using MRI images and their corresponding segmentation masks.
Model Evaluation: Measure Dice coefficient, IoU, precision, and recall on held-out test data.
Segmentation Visualization: Generate tumour masks and overlay them on the original MRI images.
Dashboard Development: Build a Streamlit application for MRI uploads and segmentation visualization.
Testing and Deployment: Test the model on unseen patient scans and deploy the prototype locally or on a suitable hosting platform.
