CT scans, MRIs, or positron emission tomography (PET) scans are commonly used to identify malignant brain tissue. This study will focus on the different types of brain tumors, how they are detected, and how to help sufferers detect the cancer early. MRI and PET scans are used to diagnose brain tumors, and additional techniques such as molecular testing, lumbar puncture, and cerebral angiography are used to assess the stage of the disease. The objectives of this research investigation are to (i) identify abnormal photographs; (ii) segment the tumor regions; and (iii) determine the stage of the cancer. This investigation will be used to determine the appropriate methodology for brain tumor detection.
