• Abstract: Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) poses significant diagnostic challenges in pediatric healthcare, especially in regions like China where it's prevalent. We introduce PneumoniaAPP, a mobile application leveraging deep learning techniques for rapid MPP detection. Our approach capitalizes on convolutional neural networks (CNNs) trained on a comprehensive dataset comprising 3345 chest X-ray (CXR) images, which includes 833 CXR images revealing MPP and additionally augmented with samples from a public dataset. The CNN model achieved an accuracy of 88.20% and an AUROC of 0.9218 across all classes, with a specific accuracy of 97.64% for the mycoplasma class, as demonstrated on the testing dataset. Furthermore, we integrated explainability techniques into PneumoniaAPP to aid respiratory physicians in lung opacity localization. Our contribution extends beyond existing research by targeting pediatric MPP, emphasizing the age group of 0-12 years, and prioritizing deployment on mobile devices. This work signifies a significant advancement in pediatric pneumonia diagnosis, offering a reliable and accessible tool to alleviate diagnostic burdens in healthcare settings.

  Decision support system for the classification of patients into those without pneumonia and those with viral or bacterial pneumonia is proposed. This is achieved by implementing transfer learning (TL) using pre-trained convolutional neural network (CNN) models on chest x-ray (CXR) images. The performance of a series of experiments was evaluated to build a model capable of distinguishing between patients without pneumonia and those with viral or bacterial pneumonia.
