radiographic x-ray image
Using Deep Learning to identify medical conditions related to Thorax Region from Radiographic X-Ray Images - ODSC India 2020
Automated analysis of Chest X-ray images to diagnose various pathologies will help in overcoming the costly, time consuming and prone to error from manual analysis of them, especially using deep learning based approaches. One of such recent efforts in this direction is Classification of Common Thorax which combines the advantages of CNN based feature extraction and problem transformation methods in multi-label classification task. So this is one of the key areas where deep learning based solution has already made an impact and has the potential to come up with even a better and well improved performance. For this session, I am going to discuss about the problem at hand, the data-set, several approaches that has been explored and that worked quite well so far in this research. Also I am going to mention about the potential use case and the real world impact of such a real world healthcare application that can save millions of lives by early and effective detection.
