This paper presents an approach for the classification of child chest X-ray images into two classes: pneumonia and normal. We employ Convolutional Neural Networks, from pre-trained networks together with a quantization process, using the platform TensorFlow Lite method. This reduces the processing requirement and computational cost. Results have shown accuracy up to 95.4% and 94.2% for MobileNetV1 and MobileNetV2, respectively. The resulting mobile app also presents a simple and intuitive user interface.

The subject of this research is medical chest X-ray images. After fundamental pre-processing, the accumulated database of such images can be used for training deep convolutional neural networks that have become one of the most significant innovations in recent years. The trained network carries out preliminary binary classification of the incoming images and serve as an assistant to the radiotherapist. For this purpose, it is necessary to train the neural network to carefully minimize type I and type II errors. Possible approach towards improving the effectiveness of application of neural networks, by the criteria of reducing computational complexity and quality of image classification, is the auxiliary approaches: image pre-processing and preliminary calculation of entropy of the fragments. The article provides the algorithm for X-ray image pre-processing, its fragmentation, and calculation of the entropy of separate fragments. In the course of pre-processing, the region of lungs and spine is selected, which comprises approximately 30-40% of the entire image. Then the image is divided into the matrix of fragments, calculating the entropy of separate fragments in accordance with Shannon’s formula based pm the analysis of individual pixels. Determination of the rate of occurrence of each of the 255 colors allows calculating the total entropy. The use of entropy for detecting pathologies is based on the assumption that its values differ for separate fragments and overall picture of its distribution between the images with the norm and pathologies. The article analyzes the statistical values: standard deviation of error, dispersion. A fully connected neural network is used for determining the patterns in distribution of entropy and its statistical characteristics on various fragments of the chest X-ray image.

Covid-19 menyerang sel-sel epitel yang melapisi saluran pernapasan sehingga dalam kasus ini dapat memanfaatkan gambar x-ray dada untuk menganalisis kesehatan paru-paru pada pasien. Menggunakan x-ray dalam bidang medis merupakan metode yang lebih cepat, lebih mudah dan tidak berbahaya yang dapat dimanfaatkan pada banyak hal. Salah satu metode yang paling sering digunakan dalam klasifikasi gambar adalah convolutional neural networks (CNN). CNN merupahan jenis neural network yang sering digunakan dalam data gambar dan sering digunakan dalam mendeteksi dan mengenali object pada sebuah gambar. Model arsitektur pada metode CNN juga dapat dikembangkan dengan transfer learning yang merupakan proses menggunakan kembali model pre-trained yang dilatih pada dataset besar, biasanya pada tugas klasifikasi gambar berskala besar. Tinjauan literature review ini digunakan untuk menganalisis penggunaan transfer learning pada CNN sebagai metode yang dapat digunakan untuk mendeteksi covid-19 pada gambar x-ray dada. Hasil sistematis review menunjukkan bahwa algoritma CNN dapat digunakan dengan akruasi yang baik dalam mendeteksi covid-19 pada gambar x-ray dada dan dengan pengembangan model transfer learning mampu mendapatkan performa yang maksimal dengan dataset yang besar maupun kecil.Kata Kunci—CNN, transfer learning, deteksi, covid-19Covid-19 attacks the epithelial cells lining the respiratory tract so that in this case it can utilize chest x-ray images to analyze the health of the lungs in patients. Using x-rays in the medical field is a faster, easier and harmless method that can be utilized in many ways. One of the most frequently used methods in image classification is convolutional neural networks (CNN). CNN is a type of neural network that is often used in image data and is often used in detecting and recognizing objects in an image. The architectural model in the CNN method can also be developed with transfer learning which is the process of reusing pre-trained models that are trained on large datasets, usually on the task of classifying large-scale images. This literature review review is used to analyze the use of transfer learning on CNN as a method that can be used to detect covid-19 on chest x-ray images. The systematic review results show that the CNN algorithm can be used with good accuracy in detecting covid-19 on chest x-ray images and by developing transfer learning models able to get maximum performance with large and small datasets.Keywords—CNN, transfer learning, detection, covid-19

This paper describes a comparison between three pre-trained neural networks for the classification of chest X-ray images: Xception, Inception V3, and NasNetLarge. Networks were implemented using learning transfer; The database used was the chest x-ray data set, which contains a total of 5856 chest x-ray images of pediatric patients aged one to five years, with three classes: Normal Viral Pneumonia and Bacterial Pneumonia. Data were divided into three groups: validation, testing and training. A comparison was made with the work of kermany who implemented the Inception V3 network in two ways: (Pneumonia X Normal) and (Bacterial Pneumonia X Viral Pneumonia). The nets used had good accuracy, being the NasNetLarge network the best precision, which was 95.35 \% (Pneumonia X Normal) and 91.79 \% (Viral Pneumonia X Bacterial Pneumonia) against 92.80 \% in (Pneumonia X Normal) and 90.70 \% (Viral Pneumonia X Bacterial Pneumonia) from kermany's work, the Xception network also achieved an improvement in accuracy compared to kermany's work, with 93.59 \% at (Normal X Pneumonia) and 91.03 \% in (Viral Pneumonia X Bacterial Pneumonia).

AbstractBackgroundIn the midst of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) outbreak, chest X-ray (CXR) imaging is playing an important role in the diagnosis and monitoring of patients with COVID-19. Machine learning solutions have been shown to be useful for X-ray analysis and classification in a range of medical contexts.PurposeThe purpose of this study is to create and evaluate a machine learning model for diagnosis of COVID-19, and to provide a tool for searching for similar patients according to their X-ray scans.Materials and MethodsIn this retrospective study, a classifier was built using a pre-trained deep learning model (ReNet50) and enhanced by data augmentation and lung segmentation to detect COVID-19 in frontal CXR images collected between January 2018 and July 2020 in four hospitals in Israel. A nearest-neighbors algorithm was implemented based on the network results that identifies the images most similar to a given image. The model was evaluated using accuracy, sensitivity, area under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve and of the precision-recall (P-R) curve.ResultsThe dataset sourced for this study includes 2362 CXRs, balanced for positive and negative COVID-19, from 1384 patients (63 +/- 18 years, 552 men). Our model achieved 89.7% (314/350) accuracy and 87.1% (156/179) sensitivity in classification of COVID-19 on a test dataset comprising 15% (350 of 2326) of the original data, with AUC of ROC 0.95 and AUC of the P-R curve 0.94. For each image we retrieve images with the most similar DNN-based image embeddings; these can be used to compare with previous cases.ConclusionDeep Neural Networks can be used to reliably classify CXR images as COVID-19 positive or negative. Moreover, the image embeddings learned by the network can be used to retrieve images with similar lung findings.SummaryDeep Neural Networks and can be used to reliably predict chest X-ray images as positive for coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) or as negative for COVID-19.Key ResultsA machine learning model was able to detect chest X-ray (CXR) images of patients tested positive for coronavirus disease 2019 with accuracy of 89.7%, sensitivity of 87.1% and area under receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.95.A tool was created for finding existing CXR images with imaging characteristics most similar to a given CXR, according to the model’s image embeddings.
