Abstract

Background: Scanning a patient’s lungs to detect Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to similar imaging of other chest diseases. Thus, a multidisciplinary approach is strongly required to confirm the diagnosis. There are only a few works targeted at pathological x-ray images. Most of the works only target single disease detection which is not good enough. Some works have been provided for all classes. However, the results suffer due to lack of data for rare classes and data unbalancing problem. Methods: Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases, medical facilities in many countries are overwhelmed and there is a need for an intelligent system to detect it. Few works have been done regarding the detection of the coronavirus but there are many cases where it can be misclassified as some techniques are not efficient and can only identify specific diseases. This work is a deep learning- based model to distinguish COVID-19 cases from other chest diseases. Results: A Deep Neural Network model provides a significant contribution in terms of detecting COVID-19 and provides an effective analysis of chest-related diseases taking into account both age and gender. Our model achieves 87% accuracy in terms of GAN-based synthetic data and presents four different types of deep learning-based models that provide comparable results to other state-of-the-art techniques. Conclusion: The healthcare industry may face unfavorable consequences if the gap in the identification of all types of pneumonia is not filled with effective automation.
