Abstract

The diagnosis of human brain tumours from noninvasive signal measurements is a sensitive task that requires specialized expertise. In this task, radiology experts are likely to benefit from the support of computer-based systems built around robust classification processes. In this brief paper, a method that combines data pre-processing using wavelets with classification using Artificial Neural Networks is shown to yield high diagnostic classification accuracy for a broad range of brain tumour pathologies.
