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.

Keywords: Covid-19, Pneumonia, Convolutional neural networks, Radiography, Accuracy
