Title
Automatic Lung Abnormality Detection and Classification based on Chest X-rays
Summary
Chest X-rays are the most commonly used procedures for diagnosing lung diseases. However, to accurately and automatically detect abnormal lung regions and their subtypes is still a challenge. To address this issue, we aim to propose an efficient and accurate framework for lung abnormality detection and classification using deep learning techniques.
Aims
-Develop computer-aided techniques to perform lung abnormality detection and classification through convolutional neural networks
-Benchmark against existing lung abnormalities detection and classification methods
