MUMBAI, India, March 13 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202641025224 A) filed by Presidency University, Bengaluru, Karnataka, on March 3, for 'an explainable clinical decision support system for brain tumor detection.'

Inventor(s) include Dr. S. Poornima; Dr. S. P. Anandaraj; and Hithyshi K.

The application for the patent was published on March 13, under issue no. 11/2026.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "The present invention discloses an explainable clinical decision support system for brain tumor detection and classification from Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) scans. The system comprises a data processing unit, a compound-scaled convolutional feature extraction unit, a multi-head self-attention unit operatively coupled thereto for capturing long-range spatial dependencies in MRI feature maps, and a classification unit for categorizing MRI inputs into predefined brain tumor classes including glioma, meningioma, neurocytoma, schwannoma, or normal tissue. A gradient-weighted visual explanation unit generates heat-map overlays identifying diagnostically significant anatomical regions. A knowledge retrieval unit provides tumor-type-specific clinical advisory content, and an automated report generation unit aggregates all outputs into a structured downloadable diagnostic report. A web-based interface unit enables remote user access. The invention provides a clinically viable, transparent, and efficient diagnostic support tool."
