Currently, coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has not been contained. It is a safe and effective way to detect infected persons in chest X-ray (CXR) images based on deep learning methods. To solve the above problem, the dual-path multi-scale fusion (DMFF) module and dense dilated depth-wise separable (D3S) module are used to extract shallow and deep features, respectively. Based on these two modules and multi-scale spatial attention (MSA) mechanism, a lightweight convolutional neural network model, MSA-DDCovidNet, is designed. Experimental results show that the accuracy of the MSA-DDCovidNet model on COVID-19 CXR images is as high as 97.962%, In addition, the proposed MSA-DDCovidNet has less computation complexity and fewer parameter numbers. Compared with other methods, MSA-DDCovidNet can help diagnose COVID-19 more quickly and accurately.

COVID-19, caused by the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus, has spread to more than 200 countries, affecting millions, costing billions, and claiming nearly 2 million lives since late 2019. This highly contagious disease can easily overwhelm healthcare systems if not managed promptly. The current diagnostic method, Molecular diagnosis, is slow and has low sensitivity.

Introduction: Quality assurance (QA) in medical imaging ensures consistently high-quality images at acceptable radiation doses. However, the applicability of the chest X-ray (CXR) QA tool in images with pathology, particularly infectious diseases like COVID-19, has not been explored. This study examines the utility of the European Guidelines for image quality in QA of CXRs with varying severity and types of infectious disease.

On 11 February 2020, the prevalent outbreak of COVID-19, a coronavirus illness, was declared a global pandemic. Since then, nearly seven million people have died and over 765 million confirmed cases of COVID-19 have been reported. The goal of this study is to develop a diagnostic tool for detecting COVID-19 infections more efficiently.

Background: The COVID-19 pandemic has had a significant influence on economies and healthcare systems around the globe. One of the most important strategies that has proven to be effective in limiting the disease and reducing its rapid spread is early detection and quick isolation of infections. Several diagnostic tools are currently being used for COVID-19 detection using computed tomography (CT) scan and chest X-ray (CXR) images.
