• Resumen

  • This work presents an application of different deep learning related paradigms to the diagnosis of multiple chest pathologies. Within the article, the application of a well-known deep Convolutional Neural Network (DenseNet) is used and fine-tuned for different chest X-Ray medical diagnosis tasks. Different image augmentation methods are applied over the training images to improve the performance of the resulting model as well as the incorporation of an explainability layer to highlight zones of the X-Ray picture supporting the diagnosis. The model is finally deployed in a web server, which can be used to upload X-Ray images and get a real-time analysis.The proposal demonstrates the possibilities of deep transfer learning and convolutional neural networks in the field of medicine, enabling fast and reliable diagnosis. The code is made publicly available (https://github.com/carloslago/IntelligentXray - for the model training, https://github.com/carloslago/IntelligentXray Server - for the server demo).
