• Abstract: This paper extends our previous method for COVID-19 diagnosis, proposing an enhanced solution for detecting COVID-19 from computed tomography (CT) images. To decrease model misclassifications, two key steps of image processing were employed. Firstly, the uppermost and lowermost slices were removed, preserving sixty percent of each patient's slices. Secondly, all slices underwent manual cropping to emphasize the lung areas. Subsequently, resized CT scans (224 by 224) were input into an Xception transfer learning model. Leveraging Xception's architecture and pre-trained weights, the modified model achieved binary classification. Promising results on the COV19-CT database showcased higher validation accuracy and macro F1 score at both the slice and patient levels compared to our previous solution and alternatives on the same dataset.

  We introduce a novel approach to enhance the accuracy and efficiency of COVID-19 diagnosis using CT images. We employ the base ViT Transformer configured for 224x224-sized input images, modifying the output to suit the binary classification task. Our method implements a systematic patient-level prediction strategy, classifying individual CT slices as COVID-19 or non-COVID.

  During the COVID-19 pandemic, the sheer volume of imaging performed in an emergency setting for COVID-19 diagnosis has resulted in a wide variability of clinical CXR acquisitions. The variable quality of clinically-acquired CXRs within publicly available datasets could have a profound effect on algorithm performance. We propose a simple and effective step-wise approach to pre-processing a COVID-19 chest X-ray dataset to remove undesired biases.
