COVID-19 Detection from Chest X-rays

CNN-based medical image classification project.

An earlier academic project exploring a medical image classification workflow.

The problem

Build a basic workflow for distinguishing COVID-19 chest X-ray images from normal cases.

What I built

A CNN-based classifier in Python.

Technical approach

  • Prepare image inputs for model training.
  • Build and test a convolutional classification workflow.
  • Review outputs with the limits of medical image classification in mind.

What I learned

The project introduced me to image classification and the need to be careful when presenting model outputs in a medical context.
