• Abstract: Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, researchers have developed deep learning models to classify COVID-19 induced pneumonia. As with many medical imaging tasks, the quality and quantity of the available data is often limited. In this work we train a deep learning model on publicly available COVID-19 image data and evaluate the model on local hospital chest X-ray data. The data has been reviewed and labeled by two radiologists to ensure a high quality estimation of the generalization capabilities of the model. Furthermore, we are using a Generative Adversarial Network to generate synthetic X-ray images based on this data. Our results show that using those synthetic images for data augmentation can improve the model's performance significantly. This can be a promising approach for many sparse data domains.

  We introduce COVIDx CXR-4, an expanded multi-institutional open-source benchmark dataset for chest X-ray image-based computer-aided COVID-19 diagnostics. COVIDx CXR-4 expands significantly on the previous COVIDx CXR-3 dataset by increasing the total patient cohort size by greater than 2.66 times. We provide extensive analysis on the diversity of the patient demographic, imaging metadata, and disease distributions to highlight potential dataset biases.

  Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are well suited for the image analysis tasks when trained on humongous amounts of data. Most of the tools proposed for detection of COVID-19 claims to have high sensitivity and recalls but have failed to generalize and perform when tested on unseen datasets. This study provides a detailed discussion of the success and failure of the proposed model at an image level.
