Title
Prediction of abnormalities in Chest X-Rays with Machine learning techniques

Summary
Explore possibility to predict abnormality in Chest X-Ray (collected within PLCO data base) with state of the art deep learning technologies.

Aims

Aim1: Building and testing existing deep neural networks to predict normal/vs abnormal scans based on solely Chest X-Rays (validation on accuracy, specificity and sensitivity)
Aim 2: Building and testing existing deep neural networks to predict abnormality labels based on solely Chest X-Rays (validation on accuracy, specificity and sensitivity)
