Abstract

The accurate diagnosis of human brain tumours is a sensitive medical task, for which radiology experts often must rely on indirect signal measurements. There is thus a need for developing computer-based decision support tools to assist doctors in their diagnostic task. The experiments in this brief paper address such problem in the form of binary classification, for which the pre-processing of the Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy (MRS) signal is a most relevant data analysis stage. A combination of the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT) for signal decomposition and an energy criterion for signal reconstruction is used to pre-process the MRS data prior to the feature selection and classification with Bayesian Neural Networks.
