Detecting Diseases in Chest X-ray Using Deep Learning

Chest Xrays are used to diagnose multiple diseases. From pneumonia to lung nodules multiple diseases can be diagnosed using just this one modality using Deep Learning. Chest Xray 14 dataset was recently released by NIH which has over 90000 Xray plates tagged with 14 diseases or being normal. This has started a race to make Computer Aided Diagnosis (CAD) Systems which can learn discerning thoracic diseases from Xrays. If you happen to be following the development following the release of the dataset, you would have noticed research coming out from various research labs on this dataset.
