Covid-19 Detection Techniques with X Ray Images Using Machine Learning

COVID-19 has been declared as a pandemic in over 200 countries of the world.COVID-19 is an infectious disease that is primarily caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome corona virus2((SARS-CoV-2). According to the latest figures by the world health organization, the number ofconfirmed cases for the COVID-19 pandemic worldwide is more than 20 million worldwide and thenumber of fatalities reported is over 700,000. It has been found from several studies that medicalimaging coupled with machine learning methods holds great promise in the detection and follow-up ofthe COVID-19 disease due to the enhanced accuracy in results of the experiments performed by theresearchers. Machine Learning (ML)-based solutions can be used to simultaneously analyse multipleinput computed tomography (CT) images of chest and lungs. A large number of papers have beenpublished that show the application of machine learning methods in successful detection of the COVID-19 disease. Such applications demonstrate the suitability of feature prediction, identification of involvedrisks and therefore managing and intercepting the outbreak of such diseases. This paper describes some of the techniques in machine learning that can be used detectionofCOVID-19disease.
