Abstract

Early classification of brain tumors is the key to effective treatment. With advances in medical imaging technology, automated classification algorithms face challenges due to tumor diversity. Although Swin Transformer is effective in handling high-resolution images, it encounters difficulties with small datasets and high computational complexity. This study introduces SparseSwinMDT, a novel model that combines sparse token representation with multipath decision trees. Experimental results show that SparseSwinMDT achieves an accuracy of 99.47% in brain tumor classification, significantly outperforming existing methods while reducing computation time, making it particularly suitable for resource-constrained medical environments.
