Dataset Overview

Project Background

• Project Name: Brain Tumor Image Analysis Project
• Institution: Seneca Polytechnic
• Goal: Use the BraTS 2020 dataset to segment brain tumors in multimodal MRI scans, accurately delineating three sub‑regions: GD‑enhancing tumor (ET), peritumoral edema (ED), and necrotic and non‑enhancing tumor core (NCR/NET). Developing deep‑learning‑based automatic segmentation methods aims to assist medical professionals in analyzing brain tumor MRI scans more efficiently and accurately, thereby improving diagnosis, treatment planning, and monitoring.
