Classification of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Images of Brain Tumors Using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) Methods with VGG-16 and Xception Architectures
##plugins.themes.academic_pro.article.main##
Abstract
rain tumors are critical medical conditions that require early diagnosis to improve treatment
outcomes. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is widely utilized for brain tumor detection due to its
ability to produce high-resolution images of soft tissues. Nevertheless, manual interpretation of MRI
images presents several challenges, including time inefficiency and variability among observers. To
address these issues, this study applies the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) approach using
VGG-16 and Xception architectures to classify brain tumor MRI images and to evaluate their
performance comparatively. The dataset comprises 2,877 MRI images categorized into four classes:
glioma tumor, meningioma tumor, pituitary tumor, and no tumor. Preprocessing stages include
resizing images to 224×224 pixels and dividing the dataset into training, validation, and testing sets
with a ratio of 80:10:10. Model performance is assessed using accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-score
metrics. Experimental results indicate that the VGG-16 architecture achieves an accuracy of 92%, while
the Xception architecture records an accuracy of 91%.
