Abstract Tuberculosis(TB) is one of the top 10 causes of death worldwide, and drug-resistant TB is a major public health concern especially in resource-constrained countries. In such countries, molecular diagnosis of drug-resistant TB remains a challenge; and imaging tools such as X-rays, which are cheaply and widely available, can be a valuable supplemental resource for early detection and screening. This study uses a specialized convolutional neural network to perform binary classification of chest X-ray images to classify drug-resistant and drug-sensitive TB. The models were trained and validated using the TBPortals dataset which contains 2,973 labeled X-ray images from TB patients. The classifiers were able to identify the presence or absence of drug-resistant Tuberculosis with an AUROC between 0.66–0.67, which is an improvement over previous attempts using deep learning networks.

COVID-19 has been difficult to diagnose and treat at an early stage all over the world. The numbers of patients showing symptoms for COVID-19 have caused medical facilities at hospitals to become unavailable or overcrowded, which is a major challenge. Studies have recently allowed us to determine that COVID-19 can be diagnosed with the aid of chest X-ray images. To combat the COVID-19 outbreak, developing a deep learning (DL) based model for automated COVID-19 diagnosis on chest X-ray is beneficial. In this research, we have proposed a customized convolutional neural network (CNN) model to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray images. The model is based on nine layers which uses a binary classification method to differentiate between COVID-19 and normal chest X-rays. It provides COVID-19 detection early so the patients can be admitted in a timely fashion. The proposed model was trained and tested on two publicly available datasets. Cross-dataset studies are used to assess the robustness in a real-world context. Six hundred X-ray images were used for training and two hundred X-rays were used for validation of the model. The X-ray images of the dataset were preprocessed to improve the results and visualized for better analysis. The developed algorithm reached 98% precision, recall and f1-score. The cross-dataset studies also demonstrate the resilience of deep learning algorithms in a real-world context with 98.5 percent accuracy. Furthermore, a comparison table was created which shows that our proposed model outperforms other relative models in terms of accuracy. The quick and high-performance of our proposed DL-based customized model identifies COVID-19 patients quickly, which is helpful in controlling the COVID-19 outbreak.

<p class="Abstrak">Saat ini banyak dikembangkan proses pendeteksian pneumonia berdasarkan citra paru-paru dari hasil foto rontgen (x-ray), sebagaimana juga dilakukan pada penelitian ini. Metode yang digunakan adalah <em>Convolutional Neural Network</em> (CNN) dengan arsitektur yang berbeda dengan sejumlah penelitian sebelumnya. Selain itu, penelitian ini juga memodifikasi model CNN dimana metode <em>Extreme Learning Machine</em> (ELM) digunakan pada bagian klasifikasi, yang kemudian disebut CNN-ELM. Dataset untuk uji coba menggunakan kumpulan citra paru-paru hasil foto rontgen pada Kaggle yang terdiri atas 1.583 citra normal dan 4.237 citra pneumonia. Citra asal pada dataset kaggle ini bervariasi, tetapi hampir semua diatas ukuran 1000x1000 piksel. Ukuran citra yang besar ini dapat membuat pemrosesan klasifikasi kurang efektif, sehingga mesin CNN biasanya memodifikasi ukuran citra menjadi lebih kecil. Pada penelitian ini, pengujian dilakukan dengan variasi ukuran citra input, untuk mengetahui pengaruhnya terhadap kinerja mesin pengklasifikasi. Hasil uji coba menunjukkan bahwa ukuran citra input berpengaruh besar terhadap kinerja klasifikasi pneumonia, baik klasifikasi yang menggunakan metode CNN maupun CNN-ELM. Pada ukuran citra input 200x200, metode CNN dan CNN-ELM menunjukkan kinerja paling tinggi. Jika kinerja kedua metode itu dibandingkan, maka Metode CNN-ELM menunjukkan kinerja yang lebih baik daripada CNN pada semua skenario uji coba. Pada kondisi kinerja paling tinggi, selisih akurasi antara metode CNN-ELM dan CNN mencapai 8,81% dan selisih F1 Score mencapai 0,0729. Hasil penelitian ini memberikan informasi penting bahwa ukuran citra input memiliki pengaruh besar terhadap kinerja klasifikasi pneumonia, baik klasifikasi menggunakan metode CNN maupun CNN-ELM. Selain itu, pada semua ukuran citra input yang digunakan untuk proses klasifikasi, metode CNN-ELM menunjukkan kinerja yang lebih baik daripada metode CNN.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p class="Abstrak"><em><strong>Abstract</strong></em></p><p class="Abstract"><em>This research developed a pneumonia detection machine based on the lungs' images from X-rays (x-rays). The method used is the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) with a different architecture from some previous research. Also, the CNN model is modified, where the classification process uses the Extreme Learning Machine (ELM), which is then called the CNN-ELM method. The empirical experiments dataset used a collection of lung x-ray images on Kaggle consisting of 1,583 normal images and 4,237 pneumonia images. The original image's size on the Kaggle dataset varies, but almost all of the images are more than 1000x1000 pixels. For classification processing to be more effective, CNN machines usually use reduced-size images. In this research, experiments were carried out with various input image sizes to determine the effect on the classifier's performance. The experimental results show that the input images' size has a significant effect on the classification performance of pneumonia, both the CNN and CNN-ELM classification methods. At the 200x200 input image size, the CNN and CNN-ELM methods showed the highest performance. If the two methods' performance is compared, then the CNN-ELM Method shows better performance than CNN in all test scenarios. The difference in accuracy between the CNN-ELM and CNN methods reaches 8.81% at the highest performance conditions, and the difference in F1-Score reaches 0.0729. This research provides important information that the size of the input image has a major influence on the classification performance of pneumonia, both classification using the CNN and CNN-ELM methods. Also, on all input image sizes used for the classification process, the CNN-ELM method shows better performance than the CNN method.</em></p>

COVID-19 has spread rapidly across the world since late 2019. As of December, 2021, there are over 250 million documented COVID-19 cases and over 5 million deaths worldwide, which have caused businesses, schools, and government operations to shut down. The most common method of detecting COVID-19 is the RT-PCR swab test, which suffers from a high false-negative rate and a very slow turnaround for results, often up to two weeks. Because of this, specialists often manually review X-ray images of the lungs to detect the presence of COVID-19 with up to 97% accuracy. Neural network algorithms greatly accelerate this review process, analyzing hundreds of X-rays in seconds. Using the Cohen COVID-19 X-ray Database and the NIH ChestX-ray8 Database, we trained and constructed the xRGM-NET convolutional neural network (CNN) to detect COVID-19 in X-ray scans of the lungs. To further aid medical professionals in the manual review of X-rays, we implemented the CNN activation mapping technique Score-CAM, which generates a heat map over an X-ray to illustrate which areas in the scan are most influential over the ultimate diagnosis. xRGM-NET achieved an overall classification accuracy of 97% with a sensitivity of 94% and specificity of 97%. Lightweight models like xRGM-NET can serve to improve the efficiency and accuracy of COVID-19 detection in developing countries or rural areas. In this paper, we report on our model and methods that were developed as part of a STEM enrichment summer program for high school students. We hope that our model and methods will allow other researchers to create lightweight and accurate models as more COVID-19 X-ray scans become available.
