Detection of Covid-19 Based on Lung Ultrasound Image Using Convolutional Neural Network Architectures

Abstract

The spread of Covid-19 is so fast that it has become a global pandemic. A fast, cheap, and guaranteed Covid-19 detection system is needed. Medical images such as CT scans and X-rays with biological sciences and deep learning techniques can be critical diagnostic tools. This study uses ultrasound images as an alternative to medical images that can diagnose Covid-19 using a deep learning method based on the Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) architectures. The dataset used is obtained from the Covid-19 Lung Ultrasound. This study shows the highest accuracy of detection covid-19 based on a lung ultrasound image using the VGG16 architecture compared to ResNet50 and InceptionV3architectures. VGG16 architecture with an Adam optimization and a learning rate of 0.0001 yielded 86% accuracy. ResNet50 and InceptionV3architectures produce 79% and 64% of accuracy.
