Abstract COVID19 chest X-ray has been used as supplementary tools to support COVID19 severity level diagnosis. However, there are challenges that required to face by researchers around the world in order to implement these chest X-ray samples to be very helpful to detect the disease. Here, this paper presents a review of COVID19 chest X-ray classification using deep learning approach. This study is conducted to discuss the source of images and deep learning models as well as its performances. At the end of this paper, the challenges and future work on COVID19 chest X-ray are discussed and proposed.

The COVID-19 pandemic requires the rapid isolation of infected patients. Thus, high-sensitivity radiology images could be a key technique to diagnose patients besides the polymerase chain reaction approach. Deep learning algorithms are proposed in several studies to detect COVID-19 symptoms due to the success in chest radiography image classification, cost efficiency, lack of expert radiologists, and the need for faster processing in the pandemic area. Most of the promising algorithms proposed in different studies are based on pre-trained deep learning models. Such open-source models and lack of variation in the radiology image-capturing environment make the diagnosis system vulnerable to adversarial attacks such as fast gradient sign method (FGSM) attack. This study therefore explored the potential vulnerability of pre-trained convolutional neural network algorithms to the FGSM attack in terms of two frequently used models, VGG16 and Inception-v3. Firstly, we developed two transfer learning models for X-ray and CT image-based COVID-19 classification and analyzed the performance extensively in terms of accuracy, precision, recall, and AUC. Secondly, our study illustrates that misclassification can occur with a very minor perturbation magnitude, such as 0.009 and 0.003 for the FGSM attack in these models for X-ray and CT images, respectively, without any effect on the visual perceptibility of the perturbation. In addition, we demonstrated that successful FGSM attack can decrease the classification performance to 16.67% and 55.56% for X-ray images, as well as 36% and 40% in the case of CT images for VGG16 and Inception-v3, respectively, without any human-recognizable perturbation effects in the adversarial images. Finally, we analyzed that correct class probability of any test image which is supposed to be 1, can drop for both considered models and with increased perturbation; it can drop to 0.24 and 0.17 for the VGG16 model in cases of X-ray and CT images, respectively. Thus, despite the need for data sharing and automated diagnosis, practical deployment of such program requires more robustness.

This study proposes a convolutional neural network model trained from scratch to classify and detect the presence of pneumonia from a collection of chest X-ray image samples. Unlike other methods that rely solely on transfer learning approaches or traditional handcrafted techniques to achieve a remarkable classification performance, we constructed a convolutional neural network model from scratch to extract features from a given chest X-ray image and classify it to determine if a person is infected with pneumonia. This model could help mitigate the reliability and interpretability challenges often faced when dealing with medical imagery. Unlike other deep learning classification tasks with sufficient image repository, it is difficult to obtain a large amount of pneumonia dataset for this classification task; therefore, we deployed several data augmentation algorithms to improve the validation and classification accuracy of the CNN model and achieved remarkable validation accuracy.

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.

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.

Lung cancer is the leading cause of cancer death and morbidity worldwide. Many studies have shown machine learning models to be effective in detecting lung nodules from chest X-ray images. However, these techniques have yet to be embraced by the medical community due to several practical, ethical, and regulatory constraints stemming from the “black-box” nature of deep learning models. Additionally, most lung nodules visible on chest X-rays are benign; therefore, the narrow task of computer vision-based lung nodule detection cannot be equated to automated lung cancer detection. Addressing both concerns, this study introduces a novel hybrid deep learning and decision tree-based computer vision model, which presents lung cancer malignancy predictions as interpretable decision trees. The deep learning component of this process is trained using a large publicly available dataset on pathological biomarkers associated with lung cancer. These models are then used to inference biomarker scores for chest X-ray images from two independent data sets, for which malignancy metadata is available. Next, multi-variate predictive models were mined by fitting shallow decision trees to the malignancy stratified datasets and interrogating a range of metrics to determine the best model. The best decision tree model achieved sensitivity and specificity of 86.7% and 80.0%, respectively, with a positive predictive value of 92.9%. Decision trees mined using this method may be considered as a starting point for refinement into clinically useful multi-variate lung cancer malignancy models for implementation as a workflow augmentation tool to improve the efficiency of human radiologists.
