| contents | Glioma, the prevalent primary brain tumor, exhibits diverse aggressiveness levels and prognoses. Precise classification of glioma is paramount for treatment planning and predicting prognosis. This study aims to develop an algorithm to fuse the MRI images from T1, T2, T1ce, and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) sequences to enhance the efficacy of glioma subclass classification as no tumor, necrotic core, peritumoral edema, and enhancing tumor. The MRI images from BraTS datasets were used in this work. The images were pre-processed using max-min normalization to ensure consistency in pixel intensity values across different images. The segmentation of the necrotic core, peritumoral edema, and enhancing tumor was performed on 2D and 3D images separately using UNET architecture. Further, the segmented regions from multimodal MRI images were fused using the weighted averaging technique. Integrating 2D and 3D segmented outputs enhances classification accuracy by capturing detailed features like tumor shape, boundaries, and intensity distribution in slices, while also providing a comprehensive view of spatial extent, shape, texture, and localization within the brain volume. The fused images were used as input to the pre-trained ResNet50 model for glioma subclass classification. The network is trained on 80% and validated on 20% of the data. The proposed method achieved a classification of accuracy of 99.25%, precision of 99.30%, recall of 99.10, F1 score of 99.19%, Intersection Over Union of 84.49%, and specificity of 99.76, which showed a significantly higher performance than existing techniques. These findings emphasize the significance of glioma segmentation and classification in aiding accurate diagnosis. |
