Classification of brain MRI using hyper column technique with convolutional neural network and feature selection method

作者:

Highlights:

• A novel deep CNN model equipped with the hypercolumn masking technique is proposed for brain tumor MRI classification.

• The fused deep feature set is considered to exploit the generalization abilities of pretrained models.

• The RFE feature selection method is embedded in the model to reveal the most efficient deep features.

• The overall accuracy was obtained as 96.77% using only 200 deep features.

• A consistent and precise diagnostic model is ensured for the brain tumor MRI classification.
