Diagnosing COVID-19 from X-Ray and Images using Deep Learning Algorithms Learn Neural Networks

Throughout history, epidemics and chronic diseases have claimed the lives of many people and caused major crises that have taken a long time to overcome. The 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic appeared in Wuhan, China in December 2019 and has become a serious public health problem worldwide. It is an acute resolved disease, but it can also be deadly, with a 2% case fatality rate. The early and automatic diagnosis of Covid-19 may be beneficial for timely referral of the patient to quarantine, and monitoring of the spread of the disease. Some tests requiring significant time to produce results (days), and a projected up to 30% false positive rate, other timely approaches to diagnosis are worthy of investigation.
