The advancement of technology in the field of artificial intelligence and neural networks allows us to improve speed and efficiency in the diagnosis of various types of problems. In the last few years, the rise in the field of convolutional neural networks has been particularly noticeable, showing promising results in problems related to image processing and computer vision. Given that humans have limited ability to detect patterns in individual images, accurate diagnosis can be a problem for even medical professionals. In order to minimize the number of errors and unintended consequences, computer programs based on neural networks and deep learning principles are increasingly used as assistant tools in medicine. The aim of this study was to develop a model of an intelligent system that receives x-ray image of the lungs as an input parameter and, based on the processed image, returns the possibility of pneumonia as an output. The implementation of this functionality was implemented through transfer learning methodology based on already defined convolution neural network architectures.
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.
