Diagnosis of COVID-19 from X-rays using combined CNN-RNN architecture with transfer learning

Combating the COVID-19 pandemic has emerged as one of the most promising issues in global healthcare. Accurate and fast diagnosis of COVID-19 cases is required for the right medical treatment to control this pandemic. Chest radiography imaging techniques are more effective than the reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method in detecting coronavirus. Due to the limited availability of medical images, transfer learning is better suited to classify patterns in medical images. This paper presents a combined architecture of convolutional neural network (CNN) and recurrent neural network (RNN) to diagnose COVID-19 patients from chest X-rays. The deep transfer techniques used in this experiment are VGG19, DenseNet121, InceptionV3, and Inception-ResNetV2, where CNN is used to extract complex features from samples and classify them using RNN. In our experiments, the VGG19-RNN architecture outperformed all other networks in terms of accuracy. Finally, decision-making regions of images were visualized using gradient-weighted class activation mapping (Grad-CAM). The system achieved promising results compared to other existing systems and might be validated in the future when more samples would be available. The experiment demonstrated a good alternative method to diagnose COVID-19 for medical staff. 

All the data used during the study are openly available from the Mendeley data repository at https://data.mendeley.com/datasets/mxc6vb7svm. For further research, we have made the source code publicly available at https://github.com/Asraf047/COVID19-CNN-RNN.

A survey of machine learning-based methods for COVID-19 medical image analysis

The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic caused by the SARS-CoV-2 virus has already resulted in 6.6 million deaths with more than 637 million people infected after only 30 months since the first occurrences of the disease in December 2019. Hence, rapid and accurate detection and diagnosis of the disease is the first priority all over the world. Researchers have been working on various methods for COVID-19 detection and as the disease infects lungs, lung image analysis has become a popular research area for detecting the presence of the disease. Medical images from chest X-rays (CXR), computed tomography (CT) images, and lung ultrasound images have been used by automated image analysis systems in artificial intelligence (AI)- and machine learning (ML)-based approaches. Various existing and novel ML, deep learning (DL), transfer learning (TL), and hybrid models have been applied for detecting and classifying COVID-19, segmentation of infected regions, assessing the severity, and tracking patient progress from medical images of COVID-19 patients. In this paper, a comprehensive review of some recent approaches on COVID-19-based image analyses is provided surveying the contributions of existing research efforts, the available image datasets, and the performance metrics used in recent works. The challenges and future research scopes to address the progress of the fight against COVID-19 from the AI perspective are also discussed. The main objective of this paper is therefore to provide a summary of the research works done in COVID detection and analysis from medical image datasets using ML, DL, and TL models by analyzing their novelty and efficiency while mentioning other COVID-19-based review/survey researches to deliver a brief overview on the maximum amount of information on COVID-19-based existing researches.

Artificial intelligence has significantly enhanced the research paradigm and spectrum with a substantiated promise of continuous applicability in the real world domain. Artificial intelligence, the driving force of the current technological revolution, has been used in many frontiers, including education, security, gaming, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, entertainment, and most importantly the healthcare sector. With the rise of the COVID-19 pandemic, several prediction and detection methods using artificial intelligence have been employed to understand, forecast, handle, and curtail the ensuing threats. In this study, the most recent related publications, methodologies and medical reports were investigated with the purpose of studying artificial intelligence's role in the pandemic. This study presents a comprehensive review of artificial intelligence with specific attention to machine learning, deep learning, image processing, object detection, image segmentation, and few-shot learning studies that were utilized in several tasks related to COVID-19. In particular, genetic analysis, medical image analysis, clinical data analysis, sound analysis, biomedical data classification, socio-demographic data analysis, anomaly detection, health monitoring, personal protective equipment (PPE) observation, social control, and COVID-19 patients' mortality risk approaches were used in this study to forecast the threatening factors of COVID-19. This study demonstrates that artificial-intelligence-based algorithms integrated into Internet of Things wearable devices were quite effective and efficient in COVID-19 detection and forecasting insights which were actionable through wide usage. The results produced by the study prove that artificial intelligence is a promising arena of research that can be applied for disease prognosis, disease forecasting, drug discovery, and to the development of the healthcare sector on a global scale. We prove that artificial intelligence indeed played a significantly important role in helping to fight against COVID-19, and the insightful knowledge provided here could be extremely beneficial for practitioners and research experts in the healthcare domain to implement the artificial-intelligence-based systems in curbing the next pandemic or healthcare disaster.

ABOA-CNN: auction-based optimization algorithm with convolutional neural network for pulmonary disease prediction

Nowadays, deep learning plays a vital role behind many of the emerging technologies. Few applications of deep learning include speech recognition, virtual assistant, healthcare, entertainment, and so on. In healthcare applications, deep learning can be used to predict diseases effectively. It is a type of computer model that learns in conducting classification tasks directly from text, sound, or images. It also provides better accuracy and sometimes outdoes human performance. We presented a novel approach that makes use of the deep learning method in our proposed work. The prediction of pulmonary disease can be performed with the aid of convolutional neural network (CNN) incorporated with auction-based optimization algorithm (ABOA) and DSC process. The traditional CNN ignores the dominant features from the X-ray images while performing the feature extraction process. This can be effectively circumvented by the adoption of ABOA, and the DSC is used to classify the pulmonary disease types such as fibrosis, pneumonia, cardiomegaly, and normal from the X-ray images. We have taken two datasets, namely the NIH Chest X-ray dataset and ChestX-ray8. The performances of the proposed approach are compared with deep learning-based state-of-art works such as BPD, DL, CSS-DL, and Grad-CAM. From the performance analyses, it is confirmed that the proposed approach effectively extracts the features from the X-ray images, and thus, the prediction of pulmonary diseases is more accurate than the state-of-art approaches.

Multi-texture features and optimized DeepNet for COVID-19 detection using chest x-ray images

The corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic has a severe influence on population health all over the world. Various methods are developed for detecting the COVID-19, but the process of diagnosing this problem from radiology and radiography images is one of the effective procedures for diagnosing the affected patients. Therefore, a robust and effective multi-local texture features (MLTF)-based feature extraction approach and Improved Weed Sea-based DeepNet (IWS-based DeepNet) approach is proposed for detecting the COVID-19 at an earlier stage. The developed IWS-based DeepNet is developed for detecting COVID-19to optimize the structure of the Deep Convolutional Neural Network (Deep CNN). The IWS is devised by incorporating the Improved Invasive Weed Optimization (IIWO) and Sea Lion Optimization (SLnO), respectively. The noises present in the input chest x-ray (CXR) image are discarded using Region of Interest (RoI) extraction by adaptive thresholding technique. For feature extraction, the proposed MLFT is newly developed by considering various texture features for extracting the best features. Finally, the COVID-19 detection is performed using the proposed IWS-based DeepNet. Furthermore, the proposed technique achieved effective performance in terms of True Positive Rate (TPR), True Negative Rate (TNR), and accuracy with the maximum values of 0.933%, 0.890%, and 0.919%.

High-dimensional multinomial multiclass severity scoring of COVID-19 pneumonia using CT radiomics features and machine learning algorithms

We aimed to construct a prediction model based on computed tomography (CT) radiomics features to classify COVID-19 patients into severe-, moderate-, mild-, and non-pneumonic. A total of 1110 patients were studied from a publicly available dataset with 4-class severity scoring performed by a radiologist (based on CT images and clinical features). The entire lungs were segmented and followed by resizing, bin discretization and radiomic features extraction. We utilized two feature selection algorithms, namely bagging random forest (BRF) and multivariate adaptive regression splines (MARS), each coupled to a classifier, namely multinomial logistic regression (MLR), to construct multiclass classification models. The dataset was divided into 50% (555 samples), 20% (223 samples), and 30% (332 samples) for training, validation, and untouched test datasets, respectively. Subsequently, nested cross-validation was performed on train/validation to select the features and tune the models. All predictive power indices were reported based on the testing set. The performance of multi-class models was assessed using precision, recall, F1-score, and accuracy based on the 4 × 4 confusion matrices. In addition, the areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves (AUCs) for multi-class classifications were calculated and compared for both models. Using BRF, 23 radiomic features were selected, 11 from first-order, 9 from GLCM, 1 GLRLM, 1 from GLDM, and 1 from shape. Ten features were selected using the MARS algorithm, namely 3 from first-order, 1 from GLDM, 1 from GLRLM, 1 from GLSZM, 1 from shape, and 3 from GLCM features. The mean absolute deviation, skewness, and variance from first-order and flatness from shape, and cluster prominence from GLCM features and Gray Level Non Uniformity Normalize from GLRLM were selected by both BRF and MARS algorithms. All selected features by BRF or MARS were significantly associated with four-class outcomes as assessed within MLR (All p values < 0.05). BRF + MLR and MARS + MLR resulted in pseudo-R2 prediction performances of 0.305 and 0.253, respectively. Meanwhile, there was a significant difference between the feature selection models when using a likelihood ratio test (p value = 0.046). Based on confusion matrices for BRF + MLR and MARS + MLR algorithms, the precision was 0.856 and 0.728, the recall was 0.852 and 0.722, whereas the accuracy was 0.921 and 0.861, respectively. AUCs (95% CI) for multi-class classification were 0.846 (0.805-0.887) and 0.807 (0.752-0.861) for BRF + MLR and MARS + MLR algorithms, respectively. Our models based on the utilization of radiomic features, coupled with machine learning were able to accurately classify patients according to the severity of pneumonia, thus highlighting the potential of this emerging paradigm in the prognostication and management of COVID-19 patients.

Improved Analysis of COVID-19 Influenced Pneumonia from the Chest X-Rays Using Fine-Tuned Residual Networks

COVID-19 has remained a threat to world life despite a recent reduction in cases. There is still a possibility that the virus will evolve and become more contagious. If such a situation occurs, the resulting calamity will be worse than in the past if we act irresponsibly. COVID-19 must be widely screened and recognized early to avert a global epidemic. Positive individuals should be quarantined immediately, as this is the only effective way to prevent a global tragedy that has occurred previously. No positive case should go unrecognized. However, current COVID-19 detection procedures require a significant amount of time during human examination based on genetic and imaging techniques. Apart from RT-PCR and antigen-based tests, CXR and CT imaging techniques aid in the rapid and cost-effective identification of COVID. However, discriminating between diseased and normal X-rays is a time-consuming and challenging task requiring an expert's skill. In such a case, the only solution was an automatic diagnosis strategy for identifying COVID-19 instances from chest X-ray images. This article utilized a deep convolutional neural network, ResNet, which has been demonstrated to be the most effective for image classification. The present model is trained using pretrained ResNet on ImageNet weights. The versions of ResNet34, ResNet50, and ResNet101 were implemented and validated against the dataset. With a more extensive network, the accuracy appeared to improve. Nonetheless, our objective was to balance accuracy and training time on a larger dataset. By comparing the prediction outcomes of the three models, we concluded that ResNet34 is a more likely candidate for COVID-19 detection from chest X-rays. The highest accuracy level reached 98.34%, which was higher than the accuracy achieved by other state-of-the-art approaches examined in earlier studies. Subsequent analysis indicated that the incorrect predictions occurred with approximately 100% certainty. This uncovered a severe weakness in CNN, particularly in the medical area, where critical decisions are made. However, this can be addressed further in a future study by developing a modified model to incorporate uncertainty into the predictions, allowing medical personnel to manually review the incorrect predictions.

Human-Inspired Optimization Algorithms: Theoretical Foundations, Algorithms, Open-Research Issues and Application for Multi-Level Thresholding

Humans take immense pride in their ability to be unpredictably intelligent and despite huge advances in science over the past century; our understanding about human brain is still far from complete. In general, human being acquire the high echelon of intelligence with the ability to understand, reason, recognize, learn, innovate, retain information, make decision, communicate and further solve problem. Thereby, integrating the intelligence of human to develop the optimization technique using the human problem-solving ability would definitely take the scenario to next level thus promising an affluent solution to the real world optimization issues. However, human behavior and evolution empowers human to progress or acclimatize with their environments at rates that exceed that of other nature based evolution namely swarm, bio-inspired, plant-based or physics-chemistry based thus commencing yet additional detachment of Nature-Inspired Optimization Algorithm (NIOA) i.e. Human-Inspired Optimization Algorithms (HIOAs). Announcing new meta-heuristic optimization algorithms are at all times a welcome step in the research field provided it intends to address problems effectively and quickly. The family of HIOA is expanding rapidly making it difficult for the researcher to select the appropriate HIOA; moreover, in order to map the problems alongside HIOA, it requires proper understanding of the theoretical fundamental, major rules governing HIOAs as well as common structure of HIOAs. Common challenges and open research issues are yet another important concern in HIOA that needs to be addressed carefully. With this in mind, our work distinguishes HIOAs on the basis of a range of criteria and discusses the building blocks of various algorithms to achieve aforementioned objectives. Further, this paper intends to deliver an acquainted survey and analysis associated with modern compartment of NIOA engineered upon the perception of human behavior and intelligence i.e. Human-Inspired Optimization Algorithms (HIOAs) stressing on its theoretical foundations, applications, open research issues and their implications on color satellite image segmentation to further develop Multi-Level Thresholding (MLT) models utilizing Tsallis and t-entropy as objective functions to judge their efficacy.

Application of Mathematical Modeling in Prediction of COVID-19 Transmission Dynamics

The entire world has been affected by the outbreak of COVID-19 since early 2020. Human carriers are largely the spreaders of this new disease, and it spreads much faster compared to previously identified coronaviruses and other flu viruses. Although vaccines have been invented and released, it will still be a challenge to overcome this disease. To save lives, it is important to better understand how the virus is transmitted from one host to another and how future areas of infection can be predicted. Recently, the second wave of infection has hit multiple countries, and governments have implemented necessary measures to tackle the spread of the virus. We investigated the three phases of COVID-19 research through a selected list of mathematical modeling articles. To take the necessary measures, it is important to understand the transmission dynamics of the disease, and mathematical modeling has been considered a proven technique in predicting such dynamics. To this end, this paper summarizes all the available mathematical models that have been used in predicting the transmission of COVID-19. A total of nine mathematical models have been thoroughly reviewed and characterized in this work, so as to understand the intrinsic properties of each model in predicting disease transmission dynamics. The application of these nine models in predicting COVID-19 transmission dynamics is presented with a case study, along with detailed comparisons of these models. Toward the end of the paper, key behavioral properties of each model, relevant challenges and future directions are discussed.

COV-RadNet: A Deep Convolutional Neural Network for Automatic Detection of COVID-19 from Chest X-Rays and CT Scans

With the increase in severity of COVID-19 pandemic situation, the world is facing a critical fight to cope up with the impacts on human health, education and economy. The ongoing battle with the novel corona virus, is showing much priority to diagnose and provide rapid treatment to the patients. The rapid growth of COVID-19 has broken the healthcare system of the affected countries, creating a shortage in ICUs, test kits, ventilation support system. etc. This paper aims at finding an automatic COVID-19 detection approach which will assist the medical practitioners to diagnose the disease quickly and effectively. In this paper, a deep convolutional neural network, 'COV-RadNet' is proposed to detect COVID positive, viral pneumonia, lung opacity and normal, healthy people by analyzing their Chest Radiographic (X-ray and CT scans) images. Data augmentation technique is applied to balance the dataset 'COVID 19 Radiography Dataset' to make the classifier more robust to the classification task. We have applied transfer learning approach using four deep learning based models: VGG16, VGG19, ResNet152 and ResNext 101 to detect COVID-19 from chest X-ray images. We have achieved 97% classification accuracy using our proposed COV-RadNet model for COVID/Viral Pneumonia/Lungs Opacity/Normal, 99.5% accuracy to detect COVID/Viral Pneumonia/Normal and 99.72% accuracy to detect COVID and non-COVID people. Using chest CT scan images, we have found 99.25% accuracy to classify between COVID and non-COVID classes. Among the performance of the pre-trained models, ResNext 101 has shown the highest accuracy of 98.5% for multiclass classification (COVID, viral pneumonia, Lungs opacity and normal).

Role of Artificial Intelligence in COVID-19 Detection

The global pandemic of coronavirus disease (COVID-19) has caused millions of deaths and affected the livelihood of many more people. Early and rapid detection of COVID-19 is a challenging task for the medical community, but it is also crucial in stopping the spread of the SARS-CoV-2 virus. Prior substantiation of artificial intelligence (AI) in various fields of science has encouraged researchers to further address this problem. Various medical imaging modalities including X-ray, computed tomography (CT) and ultrasound (US) using AI techniques have greatly helped to curb the COVID-19 outbreak by assisting with early diagnosis. We carried out a systematic review on state-of-the-art AI techniques applied with X-ray, CT, and US images to detect COVID-19. In this paper, we discuss approaches used by various authors and the significance of these research efforts, the potential challenges, and future trends related to the implementation of an AI system for disease detection during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Deep transfer learning for COVID-19 detection and infection localization with superpixel based segmentation

The evolution the novel corona virus disease (COVID-19) as a pandemic has inflicted several thousand deaths per day endangering the lives of millions of people across the globe. In addition to thermal scanning mechanisms, chest imaging examinations provide valuable insights to the detection of this virus, diagnosis and prognosis of the infections. Though Chest CT and Chest X-ray imaging are common in the clinical protocols of COVID-19 management, the latter is highly preferred, attributed to its simple image acquisition procedure and mobility of the imaging mechanism. However, Chest X-ray images are found to be less sensitive compared to Chest CT images in detecting infections in the early stages. In this paper, we propose a deep learning based framework to enhance the diagnostic values of these images for improved clinical outcomes. It is realized as a variant of the conventional SqueezeNet classifier with segmentation capabilities, which is trained with deep features extracted from the Chest X-ray images of a standard dataset for binary and multi class classification. The binary classifier achieves an accuracy of 99.53% in the discrimination of COVID-19 and Non COVID-19 images. Similarly, the multi class classifier performs classification of COVID-19, Viral Pneumonia and Normal cases with an accuracy of 99.79%. This model called the COVID-19 Super pixel SqueezNet (COVID-SSNet) performs super pixel segmentation of the activation maps to extract the regions of interest which carry perceptual image features and constructs an overlay of the Chest X-ray images with these regions. The proposed classifier model adds significant value to the Chest X-rays for an integral examination of the image features and the image regions influencing the classifier decisions to expedite the COVID-19 treatment regimen.

Comparative Study Based on Analysis of Coronavirus Disease (COVID-19) Detection and Prediction Using Machine Learning Models

As the number of COVID-19 cases increases day by day, the situation and livelihood of people throughout the world deteriorates. The goal of this study is to use machine learning models to identify disease and forecast whether or not a person is infected with the virus or another common illness. More articles about COVID-19 will be released starting in 2020, but we still do not have a reliable prediction mechanism to diagnose the disease with 100% accuracy. This comparison is done to see which model is the most effective in detecting and predicting disease. Despite the fact that we have immunizations, we require a best-prediction strategy to assist all humans in surviving. Researchers claimed that the supervised learning method predicts more accurately than the unsupervised learning method in the majority of studies. Supervised learning is the process of mapping inputs to derived outputs using a set of variables and created functions. This will also help us to optimize performance criteria using experience. It is further divided into two categories: classification and regression. According to recent studies, classification models are more accurate than other models.

Determination of COVID-19 pneumonia based on generalized convolutional neural network model from chest X-ray images

X-ray units have become one of the most advantageous candidates for triaging the new Coronavirus disease COVID-19 infected patients thanks to its relatively low radiation dose, ease of access, practical, reduced prices, and quick imaging process. This research intended to develop a reliable convolutional-neural-network (CNN) model for the classification of COVID-19 from chest X-ray views. Moreover, it is aimed to prevent bias issues due to the database. Transfer learning-based CNN model was developed by using a sum of 1,218 chest X-ray images (CXIs) consisting of 368 COVID-19 pneumonia and 850 other pneumonia cases by pre-trained architectures, including DenseNet-201, ResNet-18, and SqueezeNet. The chest X-ray images were acquired from publicly available databases, and each individual image was carefully selected to prevent any bias problem. A stratified 5-fold cross-validation approach was utilized with a ratio of 90% for training and 10% for the testing (unseen folds), in which 20% of training data was used as a validation set to prevent overfitting problems. The binary classification performances of the proposed CNN models were evaluated by the testing data. The activation mapping approach was implemented to improve the causality and visuality of the radiograph. The outcomes demonstrated that the proposed CNN model built on DenseNet-201 architecture outperformed amongst the others with the highest accuracy, precision, recall, and F1-scores of 94.96%, 89.74%, 94.59%, and 92.11%, respectively. The results indicated that the reliable diagnosis of COVID-19 pneumonia from CXIs based on the CNN model opens the door to accelerate triage, save critical time, and prioritize resources besides assisting the radiologists.

Auto informing COVID-19 detection result from x-ray/CT images based on deep learning

It is no secret to all that the corona pandemic has caused a decline in all aspects of the world. Therefore, offering an accurate automatic diagnostic system is very important. This paper proposed an accurate COVID-19 system by testing various deep learning models for x-ray/computed tomography (CT) medical images. A deep preprocessing procedure was done with two filters and segmentation to increase classification results. According to the results obtained, 99.94% of accuracy, 98.70% of sensitivity, and 100% of specificity scores were obtained by the Xception model in the x-ray dataset and the InceptionV3 model for CT scan images. The compared results have demonstrated that the proposed model is proven to be more successful than the deep learning algorithms in previous studies. Moreover, it has the ability to automatically notify the examination results to the patients, the health authority, and the community after taking any x-ray or CT images.
