This study proposes a convolutional neural network model trained from scratch to classify and detect the presence of pneumonia from a collection of chest X-ray image samples. Unlike other methods that rely solely on transfer learning approaches or traditional handcrafted techniques to achieve a remarkable classification performance, we constructed a convolutional neural network model from scratch to extract features from a given chest X-ray image and classify it to determine if a person is infected with pneumonia. This model could help mitigate the reliability and interpretability challenges often faced when dealing with medical imagery. Unlike other deep learning classification tasks with sufficient image repository, it is difficult to obtain a large amount of pneumonia dataset for this classification task; therefore, we deployed several data augmentation algorithms to improve the validation and classification accuracy of the CNN model and achieved remarkable validation accuracy.

A pneumonia of unknown causes, which was detected in Wuhan, China, and spread rapidly throughout the world, was declared as Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). Thousands of people have lost their lives to this disease. Its negative effects on public health are ongoing. In this study, an intelligence computer-aided model that can automatically detect positive COVID-19 cases is proposed to support daily clinical applications. The proposed model is based on the convolution neural network (CNN) architecture and can automatically reveal discriminative features on chest X-ray images through its convolution with rich filter families, abstraction, and weight-sharing characteristics. Contrary to the generally used transfer learning approach, the proposed deep CNN model was trained from scratch. Instead of the pre-trained CNNs, a novel serial network consisting of five convolution layers was designed. This CNN model was utilized as a deep feature extractor. The extracted deep discriminative features were used to feed the machine learning algorithms, which were k-nearest neighbor, support vector machine (SVM), and decision tree. The hyperparameters of the machine learning models were optimized using the Bayesian optimization algorithm. The experiments were conducted on a public COVID-19 radiology database. The database was divided into two parts as training and test sets with 70% and 30% rates, respectively. As a result, the most efficient results were ensured by the SVM classifier with an accuracy of 98.97%, a sensitivity of 89.39%, a specificity of 99.75%, and an F-score of 96.72%. Consequently, a cheap, fast, and reliable intelligence tool has been provided for COVID-19 infection detection. The developed model can be used to assist field specialists, physicians, and radiologists in the decision-making process. Thanks to the proposed tool, the misdiagnosis rates can be reduced, and the proposed model can be used as a retrospective evaluation tool to validate positive COVID-19 infection cases.

Chest radiography has become the modality of choice for diagnosing pneumonia. However, analyzing chest X-ray images may be tedious, time-consuming and requiring expert knowledge that might not be available in less-developed regions. therefore, computer-aided diagnosis systems are needed. Recently, many classification systems based on deep learning have been proposed. Despite their success, the high development cost for deep networks is still a hurdle for deployment. Deep transfer learning (or simply transfer learning) has the merit of reducing the development cost by borrowing architectures from trained models followed by slight fine-tuning of some layers. Nevertheless, whether deep transfer learning is effective over training from scratch in the medical setting remains a research question for many applications. In this work, we investigate the use of deep transfer learning to classify pneumonia among chest X-ray images. Experimental results demonstrated that, with slight fine-tuning, deep transfer learning brings performance advantage over training from scratch. Three models, ResNet-50, Inception V3 and DensetNet121, were trained separately through transfer learning and from scratch. The former can achieve a 4.1% to 52.5% larger area under the curve (AUC) than those obtained by the latter, suggesting the effectiveness of deep transfer learning for classifying pneumonia in chest X-ray images.
