A Deep Learning based model for the Detection of Pneumonia from Chest X-Ray Images using VGG-16 and Neural Networks

Pneumonia is a viral infection which affects a significant proportion of individuals, especially in developing and penurious countries where contamination, overcrowded, and unsanitary living conditions are widespread, along with the lack of healthcare infrastructures. Pneumonia produces pericardial effusion, a disease wherein fluids fill the chest and create inhaling problems. It is a difficult step to recognize the presence of pneumonia quickly in order to receive treatment services and improve survival chances. Deep learning, is a field of artificial intelligence which is used in the successful development of prediction models. There are various ways of detecting pneumonia such as CT-scan, pulse oximetry,…
