Abstract

Early diagnosis is an important key for brain tumour patients' survival. The segmentation of the tumour regions is done manually by the experts and it is time-consuming. In this work, we present a novel network architecture that automatically segments the whole tumour regions and intra-tumour structures (edema, enhancing tumour, necrotic and non-enhancing tumour). We evaluated the results using dice similarity coefficient and obtained promising results.
