The brain tumor is an urgent malignancy caused by unregulated cell division. Tumors are classified using a biopsy, which is normally performed after the final brain surgery. Deep learning technology advancements have assisted the health professionals in medical imaging for the medical diagnosis of several symptoms. In this paper, transfer-learning-based models in addition to a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) called BRAIN-TUMOR-net trained from scratch are introduced to classify brain magnetic resonance images into tumor or normal cases. A comparison between the pre-trained InceptionResNetv2, Inceptionv3, and ResNet50 models and the proposed BRAIN-TUMOR-net is introduced. The performance of the proposed model is tested on three publicly available Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) datasets. The simulation results show that the BRAIN-TUMOR-net achieves the highest accuracy compared to other models. It achieves 100%, 97%, and 84.78% accuracy levels for three different MRI datasets. In addition, the k-fold cross-validation technique is used to allow robust classification. Moreover, three different unsupervised clustering techniques are utilized for segmentation.

Acute lower respiratory infection is a leading cause of death in developing countries. Hence, progress has been made for early detection and treatment. There is still a need for improved diagnostic and therapeutic strategies, particularly in resource-limited settings. Chest X-ray and computed tomography (CT) have the potential to serve as effective screening tools for lower respiratory infections, but the use of artificial intelligence (AI) in these areas is limited. To address this gap, we present a computer-aided diagnostic system for chest X-ray and CT images of several common pulmonary diseases, including COVID-19, viral pneumonia, bacterial pneumonia, tuberculosis, lung opacity, and various types of carcinoma. The proposed system depends on super-resolution (SR) techniques to enhance image details. Deep learning (DL) techniques are used for both SR reconstruction and classification, with the InceptionResNetv2 model used as a feature extractor in conjunction with a multi-class support vector machine (MCSVM) classifier. In this paper, we compare the proposed model performance to those of other classification models, such as Resnet101 and Inceptionv3, and evaluate the effectiveness of using both softmax and MCSVM classifiers. The proposed system was tested on three publicly available datasets of CT and X-ray images and it achieved a classification accuracy of 98.028% using a combination of SR and InceptionResNetv2. Overall, our system has the potential to serve as a valuable screening tool for lower respiratory disorders and assist clinicians in interpreting chest X-ray and CT images. In resource-limited settings, it can also provide a valuable diagnostic support.
