Resource-Efficient Tuberculosis Screening Via Deep Cnns And Machine Learning

Pachipenta Mohan, Ch Kodandaramu, A Srinivasa Babu

Abstract


The low-resource settings is one of the areas where tuberculosis is one of the most critical public health issues, it tends to cause more issues when there is a lack of diagnosis. The current project demonstrates the use of a hybrid model integrating deep convolutional neural networks (CNNs) and additional Machine Learning algorithms to detect Tuberculosis from radiographs. Along with InceptionResNetV2, Xception, and DenseNet201, we perform ensemble learning on three pretrained CNNs to classificate ML models like SVM, KNN, and Bagging classifiers, on the extracted and feature volunteered images. For accurate and low-relouse prognosis, our proposed system is trained on COVID and TB chest X-ray datasets, allowing it to differentiate between TB, COVID-19, and normal cases. This new testing methodology was able to achieve a whooping 98% in accuracy which goes to show how useful it could be for diagnosing TB in areas where medical professionals are not available. The new system demonstrates it’s potential for quick and reliable TB screening.
