Abstract
Brain tumors are highly lethal, representing 85–90% of all primary central nervous system (CNS) tumors. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) images are employed to identify and assess brain tumors. However, this process has historically relied heavily on the expertise of medical professionals and necessitated the involvement of a substantial number of personnel. To optimize the allocation of medical resources and improve diagnostic efficiency, this work proposes a DETR-based RPC–DETR model that utilizes the Transformer. We conducted comparative experiments using RPC–DETR with other traditional detectors on the same equipment to test the performance exhibited by the model with equal computational resources. Tested on the Br35H brain tumor dataset with 701 MRI images (500 training sets and 201 test sets), RPC–DETR surpasses the YOLO models in accuracy while utilizing fewer parameters. This advancement ensures more reliable and faster diagnosis. RPC–DETR achieves a 96% mAP with just 14M parameters, offering high accuracy in brain tumor detection with a lighter model, making it easier to implement in various medical settings.
期刊介绍:
Due to rapid advancements in integrated circuit technology, the rich theoretical results that have been developed by the image and video processing research community are now being increasingly applied in practical systems to solve real-world image and video processing problems. Such systems involve constraints placed not only on their size, cost, and power consumption, but also on the timeliness of the image data processed.
Examples of such systems are mobile phones, digital still/video/cell-phone cameras, portable media players, personal digital assistants, high-definition television, video surveillance systems, industrial visual inspection systems, medical imaging devices, vision-guided autonomous robots, spectral imaging systems, and many other real-time embedded systems. In these real-time systems, strict timing requirements demand that results are available within a certain interval of time as imposed by the application.
It is often the case that an image processing algorithm is developed and proven theoretically sound, presumably with a specific application in mind, but its practical applications and the detailed steps, methodology, and trade-off analysis required to achieve its real-time performance are not fully explored, leaving these critical and usually non-trivial issues for those wishing to employ the algorithm in a real-time system.
The Journal of Real-Time Image Processing is intended to bridge the gap between the theory and practice of image processing, serving the greater community of researchers, practicing engineers, and industrial professionals who deal with designing, implementing or utilizing image processing systems which must satisfy real-time design constraints.
