Abstract/Description:
Gliomas are an aggressive class of brain tumors that are associated with a better prognosis at a lower grade level. Effective differentiation and classification are imperative for early treatment. MRI scans are a popular medical imaging modality to detect and diagnosis brain tumors due to its capability to non-invasively highlight the tumor region. With the rise of deep learning, researchers have used convolution neural networks for classification purposes in this domain, specifically pre-trained networks to reduce computational costs. However, with various MRI modalities, MRI machines, and poor image scan quality cause different network structures to have different performance metrics. Each pre-trained network is designed with a different structure that allows robust results given specific problem conditions. This thesis aims to cover the gap in the literature to compare the performance of popular pre-trained networks on a controlled dataset that is different than the network trained domain.
