WEEK 15 - WORKSHOP 6

Wedneday, 24 November 2021 

Today's is the last workshop briefing about Claim and Important Date by Mr. Shaiful Osman. This briefing was conducted through an online platform Microsoft Teams. 
By this workshop, students must be alert of the submission date for the proposal, the report, the technical paper, and the date when to claim based on the project.  

Here is the important date for me as FYP1 students:

WEEK 14

Tuesday, 16 November 2021 

Likewise, this week the writing of chapter 3 continues. This chapter contains the method used to develop the project, and the flow of the project has been discussed, along with how long it will take to complete. 

The picture above shows the overall block diagram for this proposed project. 


WEEK 13

Monday, 08 November 2021 

This week, the report writing continued for Chapter 2. Below is the title and summary of the journal that I review in the report. 

" In  this article, a brain tumour detection system and various anomalies and abnormalities  are presented where image pre-processing and preparation include image enhancement,  filtering and noise reduction. In this research, the feature selection  and integration method are used and the most important statistical features of brain MRI  images are used to improve brain tumour detection.The pulsecoupled neural network (PCNN) can be used for image segmentation in the pre-processing  stage, especially in the image filtering."
"In this paper, we present a fully automatic brain tumor segmentation and classification  model using a Deep Convolutional Neural Network that includes a multiscale approach.  The proposed neural model can analyze MRI images  containing three types of tumors: meningioma, glioma, and pituitary tumor, over sagittal, coronal,  and axial views and does not need preprocessing of input images to remove skull or vertebral  column parts in advance."
"The tumor  in the Brain is the most dangerous disease and can be diagnosed  easily and reliably with the help of detection of the tumor  with automated techniques on MRI Images.  Several methods of  efficient diagnosis and segmentation of brain tumors have been  suggested by many researchers for effective tumor detection.  A  review method involving two-stage approaches for 20 research  papers published in the period from 2000 to 2020 has been  conducted to learn about tumor detection in MRI images.  The introduction of  quantitative image analysis resulted in fields such as MRI  Images. Algorithms and methodologies used to solve specific  research problems were included in the results and along with  their strengths and limitations."
"Image segmentation is one of the most challenging techniques in the field of medical  image processing.  Brain tumor segmentation is emerging technique in this field." 

"From the MRI images  information about the abnormal tissue growth in the brain is identified.  When these  algorithms are applied on the MRI images the prediction of brain tumor is done very fast and a higher  accuracy helps in providing the treatment to the patients." 

"In this work, dicom Magnetic Resonance Image  (MRI) is taken as an input and tried to extract tumor cells from  the input image.  Finally, image  thresholding is applied to this image followed by levelset  segmentation to extract tumor cells."

WEEK 12 - PRESENTATION DAY

Wednesday, 03 November 2021 

Today is Presentation Day, and the presentation started around 2.30 pm on an online platform Microsoft Teams. The assessors that assessed me were Sir Hisham Mohamad Desa and Madam Siti Afifah Hj Mohshim. Both lecturers are from the Medical Electronics Section. The whole presentation went well.

There are some comments and suggestions from both assessors: 

Comments:  

1. 

  • the results mentioned are not clear 
2. 
 
  • the objective supposedly to be measurable  
  • The word study is not suitable and maybe can remove and change, i.e., to produce the image within 1 minute. 
  •  3. 


    • try to have some guidance between detection of brain tumor either normal or tumor 
    • For example, to know the normal brain put a range like 0 to 4.99 and vice versa. 

    Suggestions: 
    • Change the brain tumor title to skin or type of skin disease to get a more transparent result. 
    • then only focus on Graphical User Interface apps in MATLAB

    WEEK 11

     Monday, 25 October 2021

    This week, we are discussing with the supervisor the content to put in the slide presentation. Below is the critical content to have in slide :

    Then, I have been preparing for my presentation slide and sending it to my supervisor to give comments and check if there is anything wrong. After that, I have also done some rehearsing and practicing for the presentation day. 



    WEEK 14: SUBMIT TECHNICAL PAPER

    This week the submission for the technical paper is on Friday (03 June 2022). Then proceed to complete the Thesis and provide more research ...
