A brain tumor is the result of abnormal growth of cells in the central nervous system (CNS), widely considered as a complex and diverse clinical entity that is difficult to diagnose and cure. In this study, we focus on current advances in medical imaging, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and how machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) algorithms might be combined with clinical assessments to improve brain tumor diagnosis. Due to its superior contrast resolution and safety compared to other imaging methods, MRI is highlighted as the preferred imaging modality for brain tumors. The challenges related to brain tumor analysis in different processes including detection, segmentation, classification, and survival prediction are addressed along with how ML/DL approaches significantly improve these steps. We systematically analyzed 107 studies (2018–2024) employing ML, DL, and hybrid models across publicly available datasets such as BraTS, TCIA, and Figshare. In the light of recent developments in brain tumor analysis, many algorithms have been proposed to accurately obtain ontological characteristics of tumors, enhancing diagnostic precision and personalized therapeutic strategies.

Nowadays due to smart environment creation there is a rapid growth in wireless sensor network (WSN) technology real time applications. The most critical resource in in WSN is battery power. One of the familiar methods which mainly concentrate in increasing the power factor in WSN is clustering. In this research work, a novel concept for clustering is introduced which is multi weight chicken swarm based genetic algorithm for energy efficient clustering (MWCSGA). It mainly consists of six sections. They are system model, chicken swarm optimization, genetic algorithm, CCSO-GA cluster head selection, multi weight clustering model, inter cluster, and intra cluster communication. In the performance evaluation the proposed model is compared with few earlier methods such as Genetic Algorithm-Based Energy-Efficient Adaptive Clustering Protocol For Wireless Sensor Networks (GA-LEACH), Low energy adaptive Clustering hierarchy approach for WSN (MW-LEACH) and Chicken Swarm Optimization based Genetic Algorithm (CSOGA). During the comparison it is proved that our proposed method performed well in terms of energy efficiency, end to end delay, packet drop, packet delivery ratio and network throughput.

When using wireless sensor networks for real-time data transmission, some critical points should be considered. Restricted computational power, memory limitations, narrow bandwidth and energy supplied present strong limits in sensor nodes. Therefore, maximizing network lifetime and minimizing energy consumption are always optimization goals. To reduce the energy consumption of the sensor network during image transmission, an energy efficient image compression scheme is proposed. The image compression scheme reduces the required memory. To address the abovementioned concerns, in this paper we describe an approach of image transmission in WSNs, taking advantage of JPEG2000 still image compression standard and using MATLAB and C from Jasper. JPEG2000 provides a practical set of features, not necessarily available in the previous standards. These features were achieved using techniques: the Discrete Wavelet Transform (DWT), and Embedded Block Coding with Optimized Truncation (EBCOT). Performance of the proposed image compression scheme is investigated with respect to image quality and energy consumption. Simulation results are presented and show that the proposed scheme optimizes network lifetime and reduces significantly the amount of required memory by analyzing the functional influence of each parameter of this distributed image compression algorithm.
