Detection of Pneumonia with a Novel CNN-based Approach

Abstract

Pneumonia is a seasonal infectious lung tissue inflammatory disease. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), early diagnosis of the disease reduces the risk of its transmission and death. Various deep learning and machine learning algorithms were used for pneumonia detection. This study aims to analyze the lung images and diagnose pneumonia disease by employing deep learning approaches. We have suggested a novel deep learning framework for the detection of pneumonia in lung. A comparison was made between the proposed new deep learning model and pre-trained deep learning models. 88.62% accuracy rate has been obtained from the proposed deep learning structure. It was observed that by utilizing the new deep neural network developed, the accuracy results of VGG16 (88.78%) and VGG19 (88.30%), which are among the popular deep learning architectures, can be approximated. The test results show that our proposed model has a better recall value (97.43%) (VGG16 (93.33%) and VGG19 (96.92%)), and a better F1-Score (91.45%) (VGG16 (91.22%) and VGG19 (91.19%)).
