Popis: Brain tumor segmentation from Magnetic Resonance Images (MRI) is considered a big challenge due to the complexity of brain tumor tissues, and segmenting these tissues from the healthy tissues is an even more tedious challenge when manual segmentation is undertaken by radiologists. In this paper, we have presented an experimental approach to emphasize the impact and effectiveness of deep learning elements like optimizers and loss functions towards a deep learning optimal solution for brain tumor segmentation. We evaluated our performance results on the most popular brain tumor datasets (MICCAI BraTS 2020 and RSNA-ASNR-MICCAI BraTS 2021). Furthermore, a new Bridged U-Net-ASPP-EVO was introduced that exploits Atrous Spatial Pyramid Pooling to enhance capturing multi-scale information to help in segmenting different tumor sizes, Evolving Normalization layers, squeeze and excitation residual blocks, and the max-average pooling for down sampling. Two variants of this architecture were constructed (Bridged U-Net_ASPP_EVO v1 and Bridged U-Net_ASPP_EVO v2). The best results were achieved using these two models when compared with other state-of-the-art models; we have achieved average segmentation dice scores of 0.84, 0.85, and 0.91 from variant1, and 0.83, 0.86, and 0.92 from v2 for the Enhanced Tumor (ET), Tumor Core (TC), and Whole Tumor (WT) tumor sub-regions, respectively, in the BraTS 2021validation dataset.
