However, many developing countries face a significant shortage of these specialists, which impedes the accurate identification and analysis of tumors. This shortage exacerbates the challenge of delivering precise and timely diagnoses and delays the production of comprehensive MRI reports. Such delays can critically affect treatment outcomes, especially for conditions requiring immediate intervention, potentially leading to higher mortality rates. In this study, we introduced an adapted convolutional neural network designed to automate brain tumor diagnosis. Our model features fewer layers, each optimized with carefully selected hyperparameters. As a result, it significantly reduced both execution time and memory usage compared to other models. Specifically, its execution time was 10 times shorter than that of the referenced models, and its memory consumption was 3 times lower than that of ResNet. In terms of accuracy, our model outperformed all other architectures presented in the study, except for ResNet, which showed similar performance with an accuracy of around 90%.展开更多
