Fully automatic brain tumor segmentation with deep learning-based selective attention using overlapping patches and multi-class weighted cross-entropy.

In this paper, we present a new Deep Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) dedicated to fully automatic segmentation of Glioblastoma brain tumors with high- and low-grade. The proposed CNNs model is inspired by the Occipito-Temporal pathway which has a special function called selective attention that uses different receptive field sizes in successive layers to figure out the crucial objects in a scene. Thus, using selective attention technique to develop the CNNs model, helps to maximize the extraction of relevant features from MRI images.

Fully Automatic Brain Tumor Segmentation using End-To-End Incremental Deep Neural Networks in MRI images.

Background And Objective: Nowadays, getting an efficient Brain Tumor Segmentation in Multi-Sequence MR images as soon as possible, gives an early clinical diagnosis, treatment and follow-up. The aim of this study is to develop a new deep learning model for the segmentation of brain tumors. The proposed models are used to segment the brain tumors of Glioblastomas (with both high and low grade).
