Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

The application of artificial intelligence (AI) in medicine is now a very popular topic in translational research due to its promising results. With the help of the recent advances of digital pathology and the increase in digitalized pathologic image data, the development of AI models for pathologic image analysis has also seen significant progress. However, suboptimal color normalization and preprocessing of scanned images, the bigger size of the dataset, the lack of a publicly available dataset with quality annotation, and the elementary study design which lacks external validation still remain major obstacles to be overcome. This is a niche research topic, but efforts to reduce the inter- and intraobserver variability of pathologic exams are nevertheless a significant global goal. This Special Issue invites studies with novel ideas applying AI in the pathologic field, showing robust performance and sufficient datasets with a quality annotation that can help to solve the various issues in the daily practice of cancer diagnosis.

Manuscript Submission Information

Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.

Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Applied Sciences is an international peer-reviewed open access semimonthly journal published by MDPI.

Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2400 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.

A brain tumor occurs in humans when a normal cell turns into an aberrant cell inside the brain. Primarily, there are two types of brain tumors in Homo sapiens: benign tumors and malignant tumors. In brain tumor diagnosis, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) plays a vital role that requires high precision and accuracy for diagnosis, otherwise, a minor error can result in severe consequences. In this study, we implemented various configured convolutional neural network (CNN) paradigms on brain tumor MRI scans that depict whether a person is a brain tumor patient or not. This paper emphasizes objective function values (OFV) achieved by various CNN paradigms with the least validation cross-entropy loss (LVCEL), maximum validation accuracy (MVA), and training time (TT) in seconds, which can be used as a feasible tool for clinicians and the medical community to recognize tumor patients precisely. Experimentation and evaluation were based on a total of 2189 brain MRI scans, and the best architecture shows the highest accuracy of 0.8275, maximum objective function value of 1.84, and an area under the ROC (AUC-ROC) curve of 0.737 to accurately recognize and classify whether or not a person has a brain tumor.
