Convolutional Neural Networks and Deep Learning for the detection of pneumonia in X-RAY images

Abstract

Artificial intelligence has been used in a variety of industries during the course of its growth, especially over the past decade as a result of the enormous rise in data accessibility. Its main objective is to assist people in making judgements that are more reliable, quick, and accurate. The usage of machine learning and artificial intelligence in the medical profession is growing. This is especially true for medical fields that employ a variety of biological picture kinds and where diagnostic procedures rely on collecting and analysing a substantial amount of digital data. Machine learning-based evaluation of medical photos enhances reporting uniformity and accuracy. In order to help decision-makers make the most accurate diagnosis, this study promotes the use of machine learning algorithms to evaluate chest X-ray images. With the aid of the CNN (Convolutional Neural Network) algorithm, the process will "learn" based on previously collected X-ray data from both healthy and sick patients (the training set). This research provides an approach to photo interpretation based on deep learning. This technique will reduce radiologists' burden because of its accuracy of more than 91% and nearly immediate findings, especially for those who must analyse an extensive amount of patient pictures.
