Automated Volumetric Analysis of Brain Tumor

Brain Tumor Diagnosis Challenges

Brain tumors require accurate and timely diagnosis for effective treatment. MRI is the primary imaging modality, but manual interpretation is:

  • Time-consuming
  • Prone to inter-observer variability

Our Solution

An AI-powered web application for:

  • Automated tumor detection and segmentation
  • Quantitative volumetric analysis
  • High-resolution visualization from DICOM/NIfTI images
  • Automated clinical reporting

Benefits

  • Improved diagnostic accuracy
  • Reduced clinician workload
  • Data-driven clinical decision support

Problem Statement

1. Manual Analysis is Slow and Subjective

  • Hundreds of MRI slices reviewed manually
  • High inter-observer variability due to experience or fatigue
  • Inconsistencies in diagnosis and treatment planning

2. Difficulty in Accurate Boundary Delineation

  • Irregular, infiltrative tumor edges
  • Edema and necrosis can mimic tumor appearance
  • Hard to distinguish true tumor core

3. Lack of Automated Progression Tracking

  • Manual comparison across scans is inefficient
  • Subtle tumor growth or shrinkage is hard to quantify
  • Critical for assessing treatment response

4. Need for an AI-Driven, Reproducible Solution

  • Objective, consistent, and rapid measurements
  • Standardized analysis across clinicians and hospitals

System Overview

1. Input

  • MRI scans (DICOM / NIfTI format)

2. AI Preprocessing & Segmentation

  • Standardized data processed by AI model
  • Generation of tumor mask for analysis

3. Tumor Analysis & Comparison

  • Extract quantitative metrics (volume, location)
  • Compare tumor characteristics across multiple timepoints

4. Visualization & Report Generation

  • Interactive 2D viewer for clinical review
  • Structured PDF report for documentation and sharing

Objectives

1. Automated Brain Tumor Segmentation from MRI

  • AI model to identify and outline tumor automatically

2. Quantitative Tumor Measurement & Analysis

  • Precise tumor volume, dimensions, and location
  • Tissue subtype classification

3. Multi-timepoint Tumor Comparison

  • Track tumor progression or treatment response across scans
  • Calculate changes in volume and morphology

4. Web-based Visualization & Reporting

  • Secure interface for MRI upload and 3D visualization
  • Automated, standardized medical reports
