Detecting COVID-19 early may help in devising an appropriate treatment plan and disease containment decisions. In this study, we demonstrate how transfer learning from deep models can be used to perform detection using images three most commonly medical imaging modes X-Ray, Ultrasound, CT scan.

Detecting COVID-19 early may help in devising an appropriate treatment plan and disease containment decisions. In this study, we demonstrate how pre-trained deep learning models can be adopted to perform detection using X-Ray images. The aim is provide over-stressed medical professionals a second pair of eyes through intelligent image classification models. We highlight the challenges (including dataset size quality) utilising current publicly available datasets for developing useful propose...
Abstract High-velocity data streams present a challenge to deep learning-based computer vision models due the resources needed retrain for new incremental data. This study presents novel staggered training approach using an ensemble model comprising following: (i) resource-intensive high-accuracy transformer; and (ii) fast training, but less accurate, low parameter-count convolutional neural network. The transformer provides scalable accurate base model. A network (CNN) quickly incorporates...
Screening programs for early lung cancer diagnosis are uncommon, primarily due to the challenge of reaching at-risk patients located in rural areas far from medical facilities. To overcome this obstacle, a comprehensive approach is needed that combines mobility, low cost, speed, accuracy, and privacy. One potential solution lies combining chest X-ray imaging mode with federated deep learning, ensuring no single data source can bias model adversely. This study presents pre-processing pipeline...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death and morbidity worldwide. Many studies have shown machine learning models to be effective in detecting lung nodules from chest X-ray images. However, these techniques yet embraced by medical community due several practical, ethical, regulatory constraints stemming "black-box" nature deep models. Additionally, most visible on X-rays are benign; therefore, narrow task computer vision-based nodule detection cannot equated automated detection. Addressing...
Lung cancer is the leading cause of death worldwide and a good prognosis depends on early diagnosis. Unfortunately, screening programs for diagnosis lung are uncommon. This in-part due to at-risk groups being located in rural areas far from medical facilities. Reaching these populations would require scaled approach that combines mobility, low cost, speed, accuracy, privacy. We can resolve issues by combining chest X-ray imaging mode with federated deep-learning approach, provided model...
The COVID-19 pandemic has inspired unprecedented data collection and computer vision modelling efforts worldwide, focusing on diagnosis stratification of from medical images. Despite this large-scale research effort, these models have found limited practical application due in part to unproven generalization beyond their source study. This study investigates the generalizability key published using publicly available Computed Tomography through cross dataset validation. We then assess...
This paper presents an original methodology for extracting semantic features from X-rays images that correlate to severity a data set with patient ICU admission labels through interpretable models.

X-ray images may present non-trivial features with predictive information of patients that develop severe symptoms COVID-19. If true, this hypothesis have practical value in allocating resources to particular while using a relatively inexpensive imaging technique. The difficulty testing such comes from the need for large sets labelled data, which be well-annotated and should contemplate post-imaging severity outcome. This paper presents an original methodology extracting semantic correlate...

Lung cancer is the leading cause of death and early diagnosis associated with a positive prognosis. Chest X-ray (CXR) provides an inexpensive imaging mode for lung diagnosis. Suspicious nodules are difficult to distinguish from vascular bone structures using CXR. Computer vision has previously been proposed assist human radiologists in this task, however, studies use down-sampled images computationally expensive methods unproven generalization. Instead, study localizes efficient...
