Abstract Pneumothorax is a thoracic condition that occurs when a person’s lungs collapse, causing air to enter the pleural cavity, the area close to the lungs and chest wall. The most persistent disease, as well as one that necessitates particular patient care and the privacy of their health records. The radiologists find it challenging to diagnose pneumothorax due to the variations in images. Deep learning-based techniques are commonly employed to solve image categorization and segmentation problems. However, it is challenging to employ it in the medical field due to privacy issues and a lack of data.… More >

Abstract Recently, COVID-19 has posed a challenging threat to researchers, scientists, healthcare professionals, and administrations over the globe, from its diagnosis to its treatment. The researchers are making persistent efforts to derive probable solutions for managing the pandemic in their areas. One of the widespread and effective ways to detect COVID-19 is to utilize radiological images comprising X-rays and computed tomography (CT) scans. At the same time, the recent advances in machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models show promising results in medical imaging. Particularly, the convolutional neural network (CNN) model can be applied to… More >

Abstract COVID-19 constitutes one of the devastating pandemics plaguing humanity throughout the centuries; within about 18 months since its appearing, the cumulative confirmed cases hit 173 million, whereas the death toll approaches 3.72 million. Although several vaccines became available for the public worldwide, the speed with which COVID-19 is spread, and its different mutant strains hinder stopping its outbreak. This, in turn, prompting the desperate need for devising fast, cheap and accurate tools via which the disease can be diagnosed in its early stage. Reverse Transcription Polymerase Chain Reaction (RTPCR) test is the mainstay tool used… More >
