Abstract
Pneumonia and COVID-19 are respiratory illnesses, the last caused by the severe acute respiratory syndrome virus, coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2). Traditional detection processes can be slow, prone to errors, and laborious, leading to potential human mistakes and a limited ability to keep up with the speed of pathogen development. A web diagnosis application to aid the physician in the diagnosis process is presented, based on a modified deep neural network (AlexNet) to detect COVID-19 on X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans as well as to detect pneumonia on X-rays. The system reached accuracy results well above 90% in seven well-known and documented datasets regarding the detection of COVID-19 and Pneumonia on X-rays and COVID-19 in CT scans.
