Brain tumors are caused by abnormal growth of brain tissue cells and pose a significant threat to human life. Magnetic resonance imaging is a typical non-invasive imaging technique that can generate high-resolution, non-invasive, and skull artifact free brain images. With the continuous development of biomedical technology, the use of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technology for the diagnosis and treatment of brain tumors has become the main technical means to improve patient survival rates and reduce computational costs. Objective: This article systematically reviews the latest research progress and achievements of deep learning in multimodal MRI brain tumor segmentation. Firstly, the evaluation criteria and publicly available datasets involved in multimodal MRI brain tumor image segmentation were introduced. Secondly, an in-depth exploration was conducted on the ability of processing multimodal brain tumor image segmentation based on U-Net, Transformer, and SAM. The advantages and limitations of these technologies were summarized, and the performance of various models was compared. Finally, the problems and challenges faced by current multimodal MRI brain tumor image segmentation were discussed, and future research directions were also discussed. Contribution: This article analyzes the performance of different deep learning models on multimodal MRI brain tumor images, providing reference for researchers and clinical doctors in the field of medical image analysis, and improving the accuracy and efficiency of brain tumor diagnosis.
