Detection and Classification of Pneumonia in Chest X-ray Images Using Deep Learning Techniques
摘要
In the intricate realm of modern medical diagnostics, the crucial goals revolve around the nuanced identification and categorization of pneumonia gleaned from chest X-ray images. Pneumonia, a respiratory infection, tends to proliferate in areas grappling with heightened pollution, unsanitary living conditions, and inadequate medical facilities. The imperative of improving treatment outcomes and bolstering survival rates places pneumonia diagnosis at the forefront, demanding swift and pinpoint precision. However, the visual interpretation of chest X- rays persists as a challenging and inherently subjective endeavor. This endeavor embarks on employing cutting- edge deep learning techniques to surmount extant quandaries surrounding pneumonia diagnosis. The strategy involves deploying deep transfer learning to circumvent the dearth of labeled datasets due to data availability constraints. With an unwavering emphasis on refining accuracy, a pioneering Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) model takes shape, seamlessly amalgamating CovXNet, RNN, VGG16, and an evolutionary upgrade beyond the prevailing ResNet 50. This research venture is poised to confront emerging challenges, including imbalances within datasets, the subjective nuances inherent in X-ray interpretations, and the optimization intricacies of transfer learning techniques. Through a judicious blend of critical analysis and methodological refinement, this scholarly pursuit aims not only to furnish a robust Comprehensive Diagnostic Infrastructure for Pneumonia (CDIA) but to usher in substantive enhancements in precision and applicability across diverse patient demographics and multifarious clinical settings, promising a transformative impact on the landscape of medical diagnostics.
