Tool to Assist in the Prognosis of covid-19 and Pneumonia in Robust or Restricted Computational Environments
Abstract
Effective screening of patients infected with COVID-19 plays a crucial role in combating this disease, with chest X-ray examination being one of the main approaches. In this study, we developed four models using Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained with 30.000 images, capable of classifying a lung X-ray image as normal, with pneumonia or with COVID-19, with an accuracy close to 90%. In addition, we perform a cost-benefit analysis of the models considering the implementation in more restricted systems, such as embedded systems and systems with greater processing power, such as client-server systems.
