Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive technique used in medical imaging to diagnose a variety of disorders. The majority of previous systems performed well on MRI datasets with a small number of images, but their performance deteriorated when applied to large MRI datasets. Therefore, the objective is to develop a quick and trustworthy classification system that can sustain the best performance over a comprehensive MRI dataset. This paper presents a robust approach that has the ability to analyze and classify different types of brain diseases using MRI images. In this paper, global histogram equalization is utilized to remove unwanted details from the MRI images. After the picture has been enhanced, a symlet wavelet transform-based technique has been suggested that can extract the best features from the MRI images for feature extraction. On gray scale images, the suggested feature extraction approach is a compactly supported wavelet with the lowest asymmetry and the most vanishing moments for a given support width. Because the symlet wavelet can accommodate the orthogonal, biorthogonal, and reverse biorthogonal features of gray scale images, it delivers higher classification results. Following the extraction of the best feature, the linear discriminant analysis (LDA) is employed to minimize the feature space's dimensions. The model was trained and evaluated using logistic regression, and it correctly classified several types of brain illnesses based on MRI pictures. To illustrate the importance of the proposed strategy, a standard dataset from Harvard Medical School and the Open Access Series of Imaging Studies (OASIS), which encompasses 24 different brain disorders (including normal), is used. The proposed technique achieved the best classification accuracy of 96.6% when measured against current cutting-edge systems.
