A chest radiograph is a chest projection radiograph that has been used to diagnose the disorders that affect the chest, its contents and structures in the vicinity. The chest X-ray of a pneumonia affected COVID-19 patient differs from a healthy person's chest X-ray. Differentiating between them is difficult for the untrained human eye. But deep learning networks can learn to distinguish these distinctions. This paper analyses the performance of seven different models: Xception, VGG-16, ResNet-101-V2, ResNet-50-V2, MobileNet-V2, DenseNet-121 and Inception-ResNet-V2, when differentiating between COVID-19 and normal chest X-rays. The experiment's results on the COVID-19 chest X-ray dataset inferred that the Xception model performed the best. Inception-ResNet-V2 worked fine after Xception.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
