Using Singular Value Decomposition in a Convolutional Neural Network to Improve Brain Tumor Segmentation Accuracy

Abstract

A brain tumor consists of cells showing abnormal brain growth. The area of the brain tumor significantly affects choosing the type of treatment and following the course of the disease during the treatment. At the same time, pictures of Brain MRIs are accompanied by noise. Eliminating existing noises can significantly impact the better segmentation and diagnosis of brain tumors. In this work, we have tried using the analysis of eigenvalues. We have used the MSVD algorithm, reducing the image noise and then using the deep neural network to segment the tumor in the images. The proposed method's accuracy was increased by 2.4% compared to using the original images. With Using the MSVD method, convergence speed has also increased, showing the proposed method's effectiveness.
