摘要

Determining the specific type of brain tumor in a patient may be challenging due to the variability in their shapes and sizes. The utilization of MRI data, convolutional neural networks (CNNs), transformer-based architectures, and hybrid models facilitates the automatic classification and segmentation of brain tumors. This systematic literature analysis examines research on deep learning and explainable AI (xAI) from 2019 to 2025. PRISMA analyzed, categorized, and contrasted 90 peer-reviewed articles according to their architecture, performance metrics, and clinical significance. The evaluation highlights the shift from artisanal techniques to advanced transformer and xAI-augmented models that improve accuracy and clarity. Views on data diversity, multimodal learning, and practicable explainability frameworks address critical issues including generalizability, real-time implementation, and model transparency.
