• Abstract: Pneumonia is the leading infectious cause of infant death in the world. When identified early, it is possible to alter the prognosis of the patient, one could use imaging exams to help in the diagnostic confirmation. Performing and interpreting the exams as soon as possible is vital for a good treatment, with the most common exam for this pathology being chest X-ray. The objective of this study was to develop a software that identify the presence or absence of pneumonia in chest radiographs. The software was developed as a computational model based on machine learning using transfer learning technique. For the training process, images were collected from a database available online with children's chest X-rays images taken at a hospital in China. After training, the model was then exposed to new images, achieving relevant results on identifying such pathology, reaching 98% sensitivity and 97.3% specificity for the sample used for testing. It can be concluded that it is possible to develop a software that identifies pneumonia in chest X-ray images.

  This paper presents a computer-aided classification of pneumonia, coined as Ensemble Learning (EL), to simplify the diagnosis process on chest X-ray images. Our proposal is based on Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) models, which are pre-trained CNN models that have been recently employed to enhance the performance of many medical tasks instead of training CNN models from scratch. The proposed EL approach outperforms other existing state-of-the-art methods, and it obtains an accuracy of 93.91% and a F1-Score of 93.88% on the testing phase.

  We present a benchmark study of the long-tailed learning problem in the specific domain of thorax diseases on chest X-rays. We focus on learning from naturally distributed chest X-ray data, optimizing classification accuracy over not only the common "head" classes, but also the rare yet critical "tail" classes. The benchmark consists of two chest X-ray datasets for 19- and 20-way thorax disease classification, containing classes with as many as 53,000 and as few as 7 labeled training images.

  Pneumothorax is typically detected on a chest X-ray image through visual inspection by radiologists. We developed the Autoencoding Thorax Net (short AutoThorax-Net) for image search in chest compressing three inputs. We achieved 92% AUC accuracy for a semi-automated search in 194,608 images (pneumothorax and normal) and 82% AUC accuracy for fully automated search in 551,383 images (normal, pneumothorax and many other chest diseases)
