Pneumonia Detection from Chest X-ray using Transfer Learning

The use of computing technology to aid modern medicine advancement has revolutionized healthcare. Quick and accurate diagnostic tools help professionals start the necessary treatment as soon as possible, saving millions of lives. Pneumonia, a symptom of Covid-19, is a life-threatening condition that affects the lungs and can be detected by analyzing X-ray scans of the chest. The study highlights Convolutional Neural Networks, develops and trains models such as VGG16, ResNet-50, and InceptionV3, to detect pneumonia with improved testing accuracies of 94%, 93.9 %, and 93.5 %, respectively. The work discusses and compares the implementation and performance of these models.
