LungNet22: A Fine-Tuned Model for Multiclass Classification and Prediction of Lung Disease Using X-ray Images.

ABSTRACT: In recent years, lung disease has increased manyfold, causing millions of casualties annually. To combat the crisis, an efficient, reliable, and affordable lung disease diagnosis technique has become indispensable. In this study, a multiclass classification of lung disease from frontal chest X-ray imaging using a fine-tuned CNN model is proposed. The classification is conducted on 10 disease classes of the lungs, namely COVID-19, Effusion, Tuberculosis, Pneumonia, Lung Opacity, Mass, Nodule, Pneumothorax, and Pulmonary Fibrosis, along with the Normal class. The dataset is a collective dataset gathered from multiple sources. After pre-processing and balancing the dataset with eight augmentation techniques, a total of 80,000 X-ray images were fed to the model for classification purposes. Ini
