Novel Comparative Study for the Detection of COVID-19 Using CT Scan and Chest X-ray Images.

ABSTRACT: The number of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) cases is constantly rising as the pandemic continues, with new variants constantly emerging. Therefore, to prevent the virus from spreading, coronavirus cases must be diagnosed as soon as possible. The COVID-19 pandemic has had a devastating impact on people's health and the economy worldwide. For COVID-19 detection, reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction testing is the benchmark. However, this test takes a long time and necessitates a lot of laboratory resources. A new trend is emerging to address these limitations regarding the use of machine learning and deep learning techniques for automatic analysis, as these can attain high diagnosis results, especially by using medical imaging techniques. However, a key question arises whether a chest computed tomography scan or chest X-ray can be used for COVID-19 detection. A total of 17,599 images were examined in this work to develop the models used to classify the occurrence of COVID-19 infection, while four different classifiers were studied. These are the convolutional neural network (proposed architecture (named, SCovNet) and Resnet18), support vector machine, and logistic regression. Out of all four models, the proposed SCoVNet architecture reached the best performance with an accuracy of almost 99% and 98% on chest computed tomography scan images and chest X-ray images, respectively.

Project description:Recently, the infectious disease COVID-19 remains to have a catastrophic effect on the lives of human beings all over the world. To combat this deadliest disease, it is essential to screen the affected people quickly and least inexpensively. Radiological examination is considered the most feasible step toward attaining this objective; however, chest X-ray (CXR) and computed tomography (CT) are the most easily accessible and inexpensive options. This paper proposes a novel ensemble deep learning-based solution to predict the COVID-19-positive patients using CXR and CT images. The main aim of the proposed model is to provide an effective COVID-19 prediction model with a robust diagnosis and increase the prediction performance. Initially, pre-processing, like image resizing and noise removal, is employed using image scaling and median filtering techniques to enhance the input data for further processing. Various data augmentation styles, such as flipping and rotation, are applied to capable the model to learn the variations during training and attain better results on a small dataset. Finally, a new ensemble deep honey architecture (EDHA) model is introduced to effectively classify the COVID-19-positive and -negative cases. EDHA combines three pre-trained architectures like ShuffleNet, SqueezeNet, and DenseNet-201, to detect the class value. Moreover, a new optimization algorithm, the honey badger algorithm (HBA), is adapted in EDHA to determine the best values for the hyper-parameters of the proposed model. The proposed EDHA is implemented in the Python platform and evaluates the performance in terms of accuracy, sensitivity, specificity, precision, f1-score, AUC, and MCC. The proposed model has utilized the publicly available CXR and CT datasets to test the solution's efficiency. As a result, the simulated outcomes showed that the proposed EDHA had achieved better performance than the existing techniques in terms of Accuracy, Sensitivity, Specificity, Precision, F1-Score, MCC, AUC, and Computation time are 99.1%, 99%, 98.6%, 99.6%, 98.9%, 99.2%, 0.98, and 820 s using the CXR dataset.

Project description:BackgroundCharacteristic chest computed tomography (CT) manifestation of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) was added as a diagnostic criterion in the Chinese National COVID-19 management guideline. Whether the characteristic findings of Chest CT could differentiate confirmed COVID-19 cases from other positive nucleic acid test (NAT)-negative patients has not been rigorously evaluated.PurposeWe aim to test whether chest CT manifestation of 2019 novel coronavirus (COVID-19) can be differentiated by a radiologist or a computer-based CT image analysis system.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective case-control study that included 52 laboratory-confirmed COVID-19 patients and 80 non-COVID-19 viral pneumonia patients between 20 December, 2019 and 10 February, 2020. The chest CT images were evaluated by radiologists in a double blind fashion. A computer-based image analysis system (uAI System, Lianying Inc., Shanghai, China) detected the lesions in 18 lung segments defined by Boyden classification system and calculated the infected volume in each segment. The number and volume of lesions detected by radiologist and computer system was compared with Chi-square test or Mann-Whitney U test as appropriate.ResultsThe main CT manifestations of COVID-19 were multi-lobar/segmental peripheral ground-glass opacities and patchy air space infiltrates. The case and control groups were similar in demographics, comorbidity, and clinical manifestations. There was no significant difference in eight radiologist identified CT image features between the two groups of patients. There was also no difference in the absolute and relative volume of infected regions in each lung segment.ConclusionWe documented the non-differentiating nature of initial chest CT image between COVID-19 and other viral pneumonia with suspected symptoms. Our results do not support CT findings replacing microbiological diagnosis as a critical criterion for COVID-19 diagnosis. Our findings may prompt re-evaluation of isolated patients without laboratory confirmation.
