Identifying COVID-19 through X-ray and CT scan images using Machine Learning

In the current global scenario, marked by the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become imperative for healthcare systems around the globe to swiftly and accurately diagnose the disease. This is where cutting-edge approaches such as machine learning (ML) come into play, specifically, ML-based identification of COVID-19 from chest X-ray and CT-Scan imagery. Our research collective is devotedly working towards devising a robust, accurate ML model capable of deciphering these images to identify COVID-19 effectively. This involves the application of a variety of AI algorithms and vast data resources. Our work is grounded on a large, annotated image dataset that aids in training and refining the model. Our findings indicate that ML methodologies can discern COVID-19 from chest X-ray and CT scan images with a mean accuracy of 90%. Such a tool holds promise in aiding medical practitioners in prompt and precise patient diagnosis, thereby improving patient prognosis. The most notable contribution of our study lies in the creation of an ML model that can accurately detect COVID-19 in chest X-ray and CT-Scan images, potentially aiding in early disease detection and management.
