Diagnosis of Pediatric Pneumonia with Ensemble of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks in Chest X-Ray Images.

Pneumonia is a fatal disease that appears in the lungs and is caused by viral or bacterial infection. Diagnosis of pneumonia in chest X-ray images can be difficult and error-prone because of its similarity with other infections in the lungs. The aim of this study is to develop a computer-aided pneumonia detection system to facilitate the diagnosis decision process.
