Brain Tumor Detection using Swin Transformers
share
The first MRI scan was done in the year 1978 by researchers at EML Laboratories. As per an estimate, approximately 251,329 people died due to primary cancerous brain and CNS (Central Nervous System) Tumors in the year 2020. It has been recommended by various medical professionals that brain tumor detection at an early stage would help in saving many lives. Whenever radiologists deal with a brain MRI they try to diagnose it with the histological subtype which is quite subjective and here comes the major issue. Upon that, in developing countries like India, where there is 1 doctor for every 1151 people, the need for efficient diagnosis to help radiologists and doctors come into picture. In our approach, we aim to solve the problem using swin transformers and deep learning to detect, classify, locate and provide the size of the tumor in the particular MRI scan which would assist the doctors and radiologists in increasing their efficiency. At the end, the medics would be able to download the predictions and measures in a PDF (Portable Document Format).
