Abstract

Objective: To compare a conventional convolutional neural network model and its attention-enhanced counterpart. Method: We trained both models on the same dataset images of gliomas, meningiomas, pituitary adenomas, and non-tumorous images; then, we compared both models using interpretable approaches, highlighting the regions used for their predictions. Results: Our analysis found that the attention-enhanced model focused more on tumor regions, with 99% accuracy. Conclusion: The outcome of this research underscores the importance of continued exploration into advanced neural network features to elevate the standards of diagnostic accuracy and efficiency in medical practice.
