Advances in Pneumonia Detection: A Comprehensive Review

Pneumonia is a lung infection that causes the air sacs in one or both lungs to become inflamed. Cough with phlegm or pus, fever, chills, and trouble breathing can occur when the air sacs fill with fluid or pus (purulent material). Pneumonia can be caused by a variety of species, including bacteria, viruses, and fungus. It’s a dangerous infection in which pus and other liquid fill the air sacs. Chest X-rays, CT scans of the lungs, ultrasound scans of the chest, needle biopsy of the lung, and MRI scans of the chest can all be used to diagnose pneumonia. Chest X-rays are currently one of the most effective ways for detecting pneumonia. In this paper, describe and compare many techniques of pneumonia detection based on chest X rays.
