Cover Story: Brain tumors are among the deadliest elements of cancers, and early detection is crucial for improving patient outcomes. Although an MRI is the gold standard for diagnosing brain tumors, manual analysis is often affected by radiologist fatigue and subjectivity. This study introduces a novel computer-aided diagnosis (CAD) framework for multi-class brain tumor classification from MRI scans. The framework leverages pre-trained deep learning models and explainable AI techniques to enhance both diagnostic accuracy and interpretability. A user-friendly detection system ensures seamless clinical integration. Evaluated on a public benchmark dataset, the system achieves nearly 99% accuracy, offering significant promise in improving diagnostic precision and facilitating timely interventions. View this paper
