Abstract

The World Health Organization (WHO) grades II and III gliomas or low-grade gliomas (LGG) are slow-growing brain tumors. LGG is a fatal disease of young adults (between 35 and 44 years of age). LGG can transform into high-grade gliomas or WHO grade IV gliomas, which occurs in most patients and ultimately leads to death. General treatment for LGG patients is surgical resection, radiotherapy, and chemotherapy. Fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR) imaging is needed to determine the tumor location before doing surgical resection. We propose an architectural innovation of combining U-Net and VGG16 with transfer learning for LGG tumor segmentation. Employing the preoperative FLAIR imaging data of 110 patients with LGG from the Cancer Genome Atlas, this deep learning algorithm achieves an excellent result with the Dice similarity coefficient of 99% and the area under the curve of 98%, better than the previous approach done by Buda, et al.
