COV-VGX: An automated COVID-19 detection system using X-ray images and transfer learning
Published in Informatics in Medicine Unlocked, Volume 26, 2021
The paper presents COV-VGX, an automated detection system for COVID-19 using chest X-ray images through deep learning and transfer learning approaches. It employs two classifiers: a multiclass classifier to discern among COVID-19, pneumonia, and normal cases, and a binary classifier for COVID-19 and pneumonia. Leveraging the VGG-16 model, it achieves significant accuracy and precision, demonstrating its potential as an effective tool in diagnosing COVID-19 in a clinical setting. The paper also discusses the challenges of limited COVID-19 image datasets and the importance of accurate testing to prevent disease spread.
