COVID-19 Detection from Chest X-rays

CNN-based medical image classification project

A machine-learning project focused on practical medical image classification and early-stage decision support.

Abstract chest X-ray inspired visual for a CNN classification project.

Context

A machine-learning project focused on practical medical image classification and early-stage decision support.

Problem

The project explored whether image-classification methods could separate COVID-19 chest X-ray images from normal cases.

What I built

A CNN-based machine-learning model in Python for classifying chest X-ray images.

Technical approach

  • Used convolutional neural network techniques for medical image classification.
  • Focused on the practical workflow around early-stage decision support.
  • Kept the public portfolio description limited to the facts available in the CV.

What I learned

The project introduced practical constraints around medical image classification and responsible framing of model outputs.
