Abstract COVID-19 is an important threat worldwide. This disease is caused by the novel SARS-CoV-2. CXR and CT images reveal specific information about the disease. However, when interpreting these images, experiencing an overlap with other lung infections complicates the detection of the disease. Due to this situation, the need for computer-aided systems is increasing day by day. In this study, solutions were developed with proposed models based on deep neural networks (DNN). All analyzes were performed on CXR data received on the publicly available. This paper offers a comparison of the deep learning models (SqueezeNet, Inception-V3, VGG16, MobileNet, Xception, VGG19+MobileNet (Concatenated)) that results in the detection and classification of disease. Empirical evaluations demonstrate that the Inception-V3 model gives 90% accuracy with 100% precision for the COVID-19 infection. This model has been provided with better results compared to other models.

This model has been provided with better results compared to other models. In addition to the studies in the literature, it has been observed that the proposed pre-trained-based concatenated model gives very similar successful results to the other models.

COVID-19 has affected the whole world drastically. A huge number of people have lost their lives due to this pandemic. Early detection of COVID-19 infection is helpful for treatment and quarantine. Therefore, many researchers have designed a deep learning model for the early diagnosis of COVID-19-infected patients. However, deep learning models suffer from overfitting and hyperparameter-tuning issues. To overcome these issues, in this paper, a metaheuristic-based deep COVID-19 screening model is proposed for X-ray images. The modified AlexNet architecture is used for feature extraction and classification of the input images. Strength Pareto evolutionary algorithm-II (SPEA-II) is used to tune the hyperparameters of modified AlexNet. The proposed model is tested on a four-class (i.e., COVID-19, tuberculosis, pneumonia, or healthy) dataset. Finally, the comparisons are drawn among the existing and the proposed models.

Abstract COVID -19, is a deadly, dangerous and contagious disease caused by the novel corona virus. It is very important to detect COVID-19 infection accurately as quickly as possible to avoid the spreading. Deep learning methods can significantly improve the efficiency and accuracy of reading Chest X-Rays (CXRs). The existing Deep learning models with further fine tune provide cost effective, rapid, and better classification results. This paper tries to deploy well studied AI tools with modification on X-ray images to classify COVID 19. This research performs five experiments to classify COVID-19 CXRs from Normal and Viral Pneumonia CXRs using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNN). Four experiments were performed on state-of-the-art pre-trained models using transfer learning and one experiment was performed using a CNN designed from scratch. Dataset used for the experiments consists of chest X-Ray images from the Kaggle dataset and other publicly accessible sources. The data was split into three parts while 90% retained for training the models, 5% each was used in validation and testing of the constructed models. The four transfer learning models used were Inception, Xception, ResNet, and VGG19, that resulted in the test accuracies of 93.07%, 94.8%, 67.5%, and 91.1% respectively and our CNN model resulted in 94.6%.

The novel coronavirus (COVID-19), which started in the Wuhan province of China, prompted a major outbreak that culminated in a worldwide pandemic. Several cases are being recorded across the globe, with deaths being close to 2.5 million. The increased number of cases and the newness of such a pandemic has resulted in the hospitals being under-equipped leading to problems in diagnosis of the disease. From previous studies, radiography has proved to be the fastest testing method. A screening test using the x-ray scan of the chest region has proved to be effective. For this method, a trained radiologist is needed to detect the disease. Automating this process using deep learning models can prove to be effective. Due to the lack of large dataset, pre-trained CNN models are used in this study. Several models have been employed like VGG-16, Resnet-50, InceptionV3, and InceptionResnetV2. Resnet-50 provided the best accuracy of 98.3%. The performance evaluation has been done using metrics like receiver operating curve and confusion matrix.

The possibility to use widespread and simple chest X-ray (CXR) imaging for early screening of COVID-19 patients is attracting much interest from both the clinical and the AI community. In this study we provide insights and also raise warnings on what is reasonable to expect by applying deep learning to COVID classification of CXR images. We provide a methodological guide and critical reading of an extensive set of statistical results that can be obtained using currently available datasets. In particular, we take the challenge posed by current small size COVID data and show how significant can be the bias introduced by transfer-learning using larger public non-COVID CXR datasets. We also contribute by providing results on a medium size COVID CXR dataset, just collected by one of the major emergency hospitals in Northern Italy during the peak of the COVID pandemic. These novel data allow us to contribute to validate the generalization capacity of preliminary results circulating in the scientific community. Our conclusions shed some light into the possibility to effectively discriminate COVID using CXR.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is an illness caused by a novel coronavirus family. One of the practical examinations for COVID-19 is chest radiography. COVID-19 infected patients show abnormalities in chest X-ray images. However, examining the chest X-rays requires a specialist with high experience. Hence, using deep learning techniques in detecting abnormalities in the X-ray images is presented commonly as a potential solution to help diagnose the disease. Numerous research has been reported on COVID-19 chest X-ray classification, but most of the previous studies have been conducted on a small set of COVID-19 X-ray images, which created an imbalanced dataset and affected the performance of the deep learning models. In this paper, we propose several image processing techniques to augment COVID-19 X-ray images to generate a large and diverse dataset to boost the performance of deep learning algorithms in detecting the virus from chest X-rays. We also propose innovative and robust deep learning models, based on DenseNet201, VGG16, and VGG19, to detect COVID-19 from a large set of chest X-ray images. A performance evaluation shows that the proposed models outperform all existing techniques to date. Our models achieved 99.62% on the binary classification and 95.48% on the multi-class classification. Based on these findings, we provide a pathway for researchers to develop enhanced models with a balanced dataset that includes the highest available COVID-19 chest X-ray images. This work is of high interest to healthcare providers, as it helps to better diagnose COVID-19 from chest X-rays in less time with higher accuracy.

Portable chest X-ray (pCXR) has become an indispensable tool in the management of Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) lung infection. This study employed deep-learning convolutional neural networks to classify COVID-19 lung infections on pCXR from normal and related lung infections to potentially enable more timely and accurate diagnosis. This retrospect study employed deep-learning convolutional neural network (CNN) with transfer learning to classify based on pCXRs COVID-19 pneumonia (N = 455) on pCXR from normal (N = 532), bacterial pneumonia (N = 492), and non-COVID viral pneumonia (N = 552). The data was randomly split into 75% training and 25% testing, randomly. A five-fold cross-validation was used for the testing set separately. Performance was evaluated using receiver-operating curve analysis. Comparison was made with CNN operated on the whole pCXR and segmented lungs. CNN accurately classified COVID-19 pCXR from those of normal, bacterial pneumonia, and non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia patients in a multiclass model. The overall sensitivity, specificity, accuracy, and AUC were 0.79, 0.93, and 0.79, 0.85 respectively (whole pCXR), and were 0.91, 0.93, 0.88, and 0.89 (CXR of segmented lung). The performance was generally better using segmented lungs. Heatmaps showed that CNN accurately localized areas of hazy appearance, ground glass opacity and/or consolidation on the pCXR. Deep-learning convolutional neural network with transfer learning accurately classifies COVID-19 on portable chest X-ray against normal, bacterial pneumonia or non-COVID viral pneumonia. This approach has the potential to help radiologists and frontline physicians by providing more timely and accurate diagnosis.
