Title
Thoracic Disease Classification and Localization on Chest X-rays
Summary
Chest X-ray imaging is currently one of the most widely available radiological examinations for screening and clinical diagnosis. In clinical practice, the analysis and diagnosis based on chest X-rays are heavily dependent on the expertise of radiologists with at least years of professional experience. Therefore, there is a critical need for a computer-aided system that is able to automatically detect different types of thoracic diseases merely from reading patients’ chest X-ray images.
Aims
