Automatic classification Infectious disease X-ray images based on Deep learning Algorithms

Abstract

Recent technological advancements allow deep learning to be employed in practically every aspect of life. Because deep learning techniques are so precise, they can be used in medicine to classify and detect various diseases. The coronavirus (SARSCoV2) epidemic has recently affected global health systems. One of the ways to diagnose SARSCoV2 is with a chest X-ray. This paper proposes a deep learning technique to distinguish SARSCoV2 positive and normal cases. In this study, we fine-tuned the deep learning models and hyperparameters, and the fine-tuned deep learning models performed significantly better. To classify X-ray images, we developed a system based on deep learning algorithms that includes five models: Xception, VGG19, ResNet50, DenseNet121, and Inception. We offer deep learning models and algorithms that have been trained and evaluated to support medical efforts and reduce medical staff workload when dealing with SARSCoV2. In addition, the classification model that was proposed yields positive results because it makes use of accurate classification of the SARSCoV2 disease based on medical images. Additionally, the performance of our proposed CNN classification method for medical imaging was evaluated using various edge-based neural networks. The accuracy of tertiary classification with CNN will decrease as the number of classes in the training network grows. In tertiary classification, which includes normal and SARSCoV2 positive images, the proposed model achieved a 0.9897 accuracy. The proposed algorithm achieves a high level of classification accuracy when using the DenseNet121 model for binary classification.
