Article Synopsis
  • A retrospective study created and validated a deep learning model to classify chest X-ray images into three categories: COVID-19 pneumonia, non-COVID-19 pneumonia, and healthy.
  • The model was developed using a large dataset of CXR images from public and private sources, totaling over 25,000 images, and was based on EfficientNet with a noisy student approach.
  • The deep learning model outperformed a consensus of six radiologists in accurately identifying COVID-19 pneumonia, with a classification accuracy of 86.67% compared to the radiologists' accuracy which ranged from 56.67% to 77.33%.
