Investigation of VGG-16, ResNet-50 and AlexNet Performance for Brain Tumor Detection

brain tumours are extremely frequent and deadly, and if they are not found in their early stages, they can shorten a person's lifespan. After the tumour has been detected, it is essential to classify the tumour in order to develop a successful treatment strategy. This study aims to investigate the three deep learning tools, VGG-16 ResNet50 and AlexNet in order to detect brain tumor using MRI images. The results performance are then evaluated and compared using accuracy, precision and recall criteria. The dataset used con-tained 155 MRI images which are images with tumors, and 98 of them are non -tumors. The AlexNet model perform extremely well on the dataset with 96.10% accuracy, while VGG-16 achieved 94.16% and ResNet-50 achieved 91.56%. The early diagnosis of cancers before they develop physical side effects like paralysis and other problems is positively impacted by these accuracy.
