Classification SARS-CoV-2 Disease based on CT-Scan Image Using Convolutional Neural Network

Abstract

Purpose: Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) is one of the most popular and widely used deep learning algorithms. These algorithms are commonly used in various applications, including image processing in medical and digital forensics, speech recognition, and other academic disciplines. SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) is a disease that first appeared in Wuhan, China, and has symptoms similar to pneumonia. This study aims to classify the covid-19 virus by proposing a deep learning model to prevent infection rates.Methods: The dataset used in this study is a public dataset originating from a hospital in Sao Paulo, Brazil. The data images consisted of 1252 infected with covid and 1230 data classified as non-covid but have other lung diseases. The classification method proposed in this research is a CNN model based on Resnet 50.Result: The experimental results show that the proposed Resnet 50-based convolutional neural network model works well in classifying SARS-CoV-2 disease using CT-Scan images. Our proposed model obtains 95% accuracy, precision, recall, and f1 values on the Epoch 500.Novelty: In this experiment, we utilized the Resnet50-based CNN model to classify the SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) disease using CT-Scan images and got good performance.
