Abstract

Early identification of lung diseases is very important so that medical personnel can quickly provide first aid and further study the patient's condition. In this study, a model was developed to classify chest X-ray images of the lungs using the VGG16 architecture. These chest X-ray images were categorized into three groups: COVID-19, normal lungs, and pneumonia. A combination of hyperparameters, including a learning rate of 0.001, 50 epochs, and a batch size of 16, was used to train the model, achieved an accuracy of 96%. Several evaluation metrics, including precision, recall, f1-score, and confusion matrix, were used to assess the model. In addition, saliency map methods were used to visually interpret the model's prediction output and display the areas of the chest X-ray images that most influenced the model's decision-making. The saliency map visualization findings show that the model focuses its predictions on regions of the lungs associated with the disease, which helps in understanding the algorithm's decision-making process.
