Detection of Pneumonia Using Deep Transfer Learning

Abstract

Lung diseases are most prevalent cause of death in humans of all ages, and this disorder may occur for different reasons.The newest WHO (World Health Organization) report states that just in the United States over 1 million citizens seek care due to pneumonia and there are nearly ten million cases of tuberculosis worldwide.Perhaps some part of it is lethal due to lack of medical staff or human mistake.The manual analysis of x-ray images is a long process requiring radiological expertise and a large volume of time.Deep learning can play a crucial role in exceeding decision making, detecting marks of disease as well as conducting the initial examination and suggesting urgent cases.
