Brain Tumor Detection

This repository contains a Jupyter Notebook for detecting brain tumors using machine learning techniques. The project involves preprocessing medical images, training a model, and evaluating its performance on detecting tumors.

Project Overview

The Brain Tumor Detection project includes the following key components:

• Data Preparation: Organizing and preprocessing medical images for model training.
• Model Training: Utilizing deep learning techniques to train a model on the preprocessed images.
• Evaluation: Assessing the model's performance on a separate test dataset to evaluate its accuracy in detecting brain tumors.

Installation

To run this project locally, you will need to have Python 3 installed along with the following libraries:

• numpy
• opencv-python
• tensorflow or keras
• matplotlib
• sklearn
• tqdm
• imutils

You can install these dependencies using pip:

pip install numpy opencv-python tensorflow matplotlib scikit-learn tqdm imutils

Usage

1. Clone the Repository:

   git clone https://github.com/precioux/brain-tumor-detection.git
   cd brain-tumor-detection

2. Open the Jupyter Notebook:

   Launch Jupyter Notebook and open the brain-tumor-detection.ipynb file.

   jupyter notebook brain-tumor-detection.ipynb

3. Run the Cells:

   Execute the cells in the notebook sequentially to load the data, preprocess it, train the model, and evaluate its performance.

4. Evaluating the Model:

   The notebook includes code for visualizing the results, including sample predictions and model accuracy metrics.

Data

The project utilizes a dataset of brain MRI images labeled as either "tumor" or "no tumor". The data is organized into training, validation, and test sets to ensure robust model evaluation.
