Medical images of brain tumors are critical for characterizing the pathology of tumors and early diagnosis. There are multiple modalities for medical images of brain tumors. Fusing the unique features of each modality of the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scans can accurately determine the nature of brain tumors. The current genetic analysis approach is time-consuming and requires surgical extraction of brain tissue samples. Accurate classification of multi-modal brain tumor images can speed up the detection process and alleviate patient suffering. Medical image fusion refers to effectively merging the significant information of multiple source images of the same tissue into one image, which will carry abundant information for diagnosis. This paper proposes a novel attentive deep-learning-based classification model that integrates multi-modal feature aggregation, lite attention mechanism, separable embedding, and modal-wise shortcuts for performance improvement. We evaluate our model on the RSNA-MICCAI dataset, a scenario-specific medical image dataset, and demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms the state-of-the-art (SOTA) by around 3%.
