Due to their tiny receptive fields, the majority of deep convolutional neural network (DCNN)-based techniques overfit and are unable to extract global context information from more significant regions. While dilated convolution retains data resolution at the output layer and increases the receptive field without adding computation, stacking several dilated convolutions has the drawback of producing a grid effect. This research suggests a dilated parallel deep convolutional neural network (PDCNN) architecture that preserves a wide receptive field in order to handle gridding artifacts and extract both coarse and fine features from the images. This article applies multiple preprocessing strategies to the input MRI images used to train the model. By contrasting various dilation rates, the global path uses a low dilation rate (2,1,1), while the local path uses a high dilation rate (4,2,1) for decremental even numbers to tackle gridding artifacts and to extract both coarse and fine features from the two parallel paths. Using three different types of MRI datasets, the suggested dilated PDCNN with the average ensemble method performs best. The accuracy achieved for the multiclass Kaggle dataset-III, Figshare dataset-II, and binary tumor identification dataset-I is 98.35%, 98.13%, and 98.67%, respectively. In comparison to state-of-the-art techniques, the suggested structure improves results by extracting both fine and coarse features, making it efficient.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/digital4030027","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2024,7,3]],"date-time":"2024-07-03T08:45:34Z","timestamp":1719996334000},"page":"529-554","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":30,"title":["MRI-Based Brain Tumor Classification Using a Dilated Parallel Deep Convolutional Neural Network"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"4","author":[{"given":"Takowa","family":"Rahman","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology, Chittagong 4349, Bangladesh"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-7983-4398","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Md Saiful","family":"Islam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electronics and Telecommunication Engineering, Chittagong University of Engineering and Technology, Chittagong 4349, Bangladesh"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3403-4095","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Jia","family":"Uddin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"AI and Big Data Department, Endicott College, Woosong University, Daejeon 300-718, Republic of Korea"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2024,6,28]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","first-page":"88","article-title":"Deep Learning Model for Glioma, Meningioma and Pituitary Classification","volume":"10","author":"Sadoon","year":"2021","journal-title":"Int.
