Brain tumor is a condition in which abnormal cells grow unnaturally in the brain. Depending on the size and type, the abnormal cells called tumors can be life-threatening if the patient does not take immediate treatment. The cause of tumor growth in the brain is the presence of risk factors such as family history and ionization radiation. Patients with brain tumors will experience several symptoms of a headache, nausea, memory loss, and changes in vision, speech, and hearing. Detection of brain tumors can be performed with the help of the medical device of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) Scan. Through the image of MRI Scan results, radiology specialists will interpret and analyze the brain condition. However, analysis and conclusions for this matter take a long period of time. Therefore, a method is required to classify the brain tumors through MRI images automatically. The method used in this research is Counter-propagation Neural Network. Prior to classification, the brain’s MRI image will be used as the input for the image pre-processing stage then go through the segmentation and feature extraction processes. Based on the test, it can be concluded that the proposed method can identify brain tumors with an accuracy of 92.5%.
