Abstract
Brain tumor detection is essential for early diagnosis and successful treatment, both of which can significantly enhance patient outcomes. To evaluate brain MRI scans and categorize them into four types-pituitary, meningioma, glioma, and normal-this study investigates a potent artificial intelligence (AI) technique. Even though AI has been utilized in the past to detect brain tumors, current techniques still have issues with accuracy and dependability. Our study presents a novel AI technique that combines two distinct deep learning models to enhance this. When combined, these models improve accuracy and yield more trustworthy outcomes than when used separately. Key performance metrics including accuracy, precision, and dependability are used to assess the system once it has been trained using MRI scan pictures. Our results show that this combined AI approach works better than individual models, particularly in identifying different types of brain tumors. Specifically, the InceptionV3 + Xception combination hit an accuracy level of 98.50% in training and 98.30% in validation. Such results further argue the potential application for advanced AI techniques in medical imaging while speaking even more strongly to the fact that multiple AI models used concurrently are able to enhance brain tumor detection.
