The COVID-19 outbreak began in December 2019 and has dreadfully affected our lives since then. More than three million lives have been engulfed by this newest member of the corona virus family. With the emergence of continuously mutating variants of this virus, it is still indispensable to successfully diagnose the virus at early stages. Although the primary technique for the diagnosis is the PCR test, the non-contact methods utilizing the chest radiographs and CT scans are always preferred. Artificial intelligence, in this regard, plays an essential role in the early and accurate detection of COVID-19 using pulmonary images. In this research, a transfer learning technique with fine tuning was utilized for the detection and classification of COVID-19. Four pre-trained models i.e., VGG16, DenseNet-121, ResNet-50, and MobileNet were used. The aforementioned deep neural networks were trained using the dataset (available on Kaggle) of 7232 (COVID-19 and normal) chest X-ray images. An indigenous dataset of 450 chest X-ray images of Pakistani patients was collected and used for testing and prediction purposes. Various important parameters, e.g., recall, specificity, F1-score, precision, loss graphs, and confusion matrices were calculated to validate the accuracy of the models. The achieved accuracies of VGG16, ResNet-50, DenseNet-121, and MobileNet are 83.27%, 92.48%, 96.49%, and 96.48%, respectively. In order to display feature maps that depict the decomposition process of an input image into various filters, a visualization of the intermediate activations is performed. Finally, the Grad-CAM technique was applied to create class-specific heatmap images in order to highlight the features extracted in the X-ray images. Various optimizers were used for error minimization purposes. DenseNet-121 outperformed the other three models in terms of both accuracy and prediction.

Pneumonia is an infectious disease that affects the lungs and is one of the principal causes of death in children under five years old. The Chest X-ray images technique is one of the most used for diagnosing pneumonia. Several Machine Learning algorithms have been successfully used in order to provide computer-aided diagnosis by automatic classification of medical images. For its remarkable results, the Convolutional Neural Networks (models based on Deep Learning) that are widely used in Computer Vision tasks, such as classification of injuries and brain abnormalities, among others, stand out. In this paper, we present a transfer learning method that automatically classifies between 3883 chest X-ray images characterized as depicting pneumonia and 1349 labeled as normal. The proposed method uses the Xception Network pre-trained weights on ImageNet as an initialization. Our model is competitive with respect to state-of-the-art proposals. To make comparisons with other models, we have used four well-known performance measures, obtaining the following results: precision (0.84), recall (0.99), F1-score (0.91) and area under the ROC curve (0.97). These positive results allow us to consider our proposal as an alternative that can be useful in countries with a lack of equipment and specialized radiologists.

Deep learning has emerged as a promising technique for a variety of elements of infectious disease monitoring and detection, including tuberculosis. We built a deep convolutional neural network (CNN) model to assess the generalizability of the deep learning model using a publicly accessible tuberculosis dataset. This study was able to reliably detect tuberculosis (TB) from chest X-ray images by utilizing image preprocessing, data augmentation, and deep learning classification techniques. Four distinct deep CNNs (Xception, InceptionV3, InceptionResNetV2, and MobileNetV2) were trained, validated, and evaluated for the classification of tuberculosis and nontuberculosis cases using transfer learning from their pretrained starting weights. With an F1-score of 99 percent, InceptionResNetV2 had the highest accuracy. This research is more accurate than earlier published work. Additionally, it outperforms all other models in terms of reliability. The suggested approach, with its state-of-the-art performance, may be helpful for computer-assisted rapid TB detection.

AbstractThe COVID-19 epidemic appears to have a catastrophic impact on global well-being and public health. More than 10 million confirmed cases have been reported worldwide until now. Due to the growing number of confirmed cases, timely and accurate classification of healthy and infected patients is essential to control and treat COVID-19. To this end, in this paper, we aim to develop a deep learning-based system for the persuasive classification and reliable detection of COVID-19 using chest radiography. Firstly, we evaluate the performance of various state-of-the-art convolutional neural networks (CNNs) proposed over recent years for medical image classification. Secondly, we develop and train CNN from scratch. In both cases, we use a recently published public X-Ray dataset for training and validation purposes. For transfer learning, we obtain 100% accuracy for binary classification (i.e., Normal/COVID-19) and 87.50% accuracy for tertiary classification (Normal/COVID-19/Pneumonia). With the CNN trained from scratch, we achieve 93.75% accuracy for tertiary classification. We observe, in the case of transfer learning, the classification accuracy drops with an increased number of classes. Our comprehensive ROC and confusion metric analysis with 10-fold cross-validation strongly underpin our findings.

Pneumonia is a form of acute respiratory infection commonly caused by germs, viruses, and fungi, and can prove fatal at any age. Chest X-rays is the most common technique for diagnosing pneumonia. There have been several attempts to apply transfer learning based on a Convolutional Neural Network to build a stable model in computer-aided diagnosis. Recently, with the appearance of an attention mechanism that automatically focuses on the critical part of the image that is crucial for the diagnosis of disease, it is possible to increase the performance of previous models. The goal of this study is to improve the accuracy of a computer-aided diagnostic approach that medical professionals can easily use as an auxiliary tool. In this paper, we proposed the attention-based transfer learning framework for efficient pneumonia detection in chest X-ray images. We collected features from three-types of pre-trained models, ResNet152, DenseNet121, ResNet18 as a role of feature extractor. We redefined the classifier for a new task and applied the attention mechanism as a feature selector. As a result, the proposed approach achieved accuracy, F-score, Area Under the Curve(AUC), precision and recall of 96.63%, 0.973, 96.03%, 96.23% and 98.46%, respectively.
