• Title: Brain Tumor Classification using Vision Transformer with Selective Cross-Attention Mechanism and Feature Calibration
• Authors: Mohammad Ali Labbaf Khaniki, Alireza Golkarieh, Mohammad Manthouri,
• Abstract summary: We introduce two new mechanisms to improve the performance of the cross-attention fusion module: Feature Mechanism (FCM) and Selective Cross-Attention (SCA) FCM calibrates the features from different branches to make them more compatible, while SCA attends selectively to the most informative features. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in brain tumor classification, achieving improved accuracy and efficiency.

• Abstract: Brain tumor classification is a challenging task in medical image analysis. In this paper, we propose a novel approach to brain tumor classification using a vision transformer with a novel cross-attention mechanism. Our approach leverages the strengths of transformers in modeling long-range dependencies and multi-scale feature fusion. We introduce two new mechanisms to improve the performance of the cross-attention fusion module: Feature Calibration Mechanism (FCM) and Selective Cross-Attention (SCA). FCM calibrates the features from different branches to make them more compatible, while SCA selectively attends to the most informative features. Our experiments demonstrate that the proposed approach outperforms other state-of-the-art methods in brain tumor classification, achieving improved accuracy and efficiency. The proposed FCM and SCA mechanisms can be easily integrated into other vision transformer architectures, making them a promising direction for future research in medical image analysis. Experimental results confirm that our approach surpasses existing methods, achieving state-of-the-art performance in brain tumor classification tasks.

  Early detection of brain tumor types is critical for cancer prevention and treatment, ultimately improving human life expectancy. MRI stands as the most effective technique to detect brain tumors by generating comprehensive brain images through scans. Deep learning-based image classification methods, including CNN, face challenges in estimating class probabilities without proper model calibration. We propose a novel brain tumor image classification method, called SIBOW-SVM, which integrates the Bag-of-Features (BoF) model with SIFT feature extraction and weighted Support Vector Machines (wSVMs) Our results show that the new method outperforms state-of-the-art

Second, the transformer models a stack of slice features as multiple 2D views and enhance these features view-by-view. Third, we deploy the proposed transformer module in a transformer backbone, which can effectively detect the 2D regions surrounding brain lesions.
