Abstract

Recently, diagnosis of COVID-19 has become an urgent worldwide concern. One modality for disease diagnosis that has not yet been well explored is that of X-ray images. To explore the possibility of automated COVID-19 diagnosis from X-ray images, we use deep CNNs based on ResNet-18 and InceptionResNetV2 to classify X-ray images from patients under three conditions: normal, COVID-19, and other pneumonia. Experimental results show that deep CNNs can distinguish normal patients from diseased patients with accuracy 93.41%, and among diseased patients, it can distinguish COVID-19 from other pneumonia cases with accuracy 93.53%. The trained model is able to uncover the detailed appearance features that distinguish COVID-19 infections from other pneumonia.
