Abstract

COVID-19 is a virus that causes upper respiratory tract and lung infections. The number of cases and deaths increased daily during the pandemic. Once it is vital to diagnose such a disease in a timely manner, the researchers have focused on computer-aided diagnosis systems. Chest X-rays have helped monitor various lung diseases consisting COVID-19. In this study, we proposed a deep transfer learning approach with novel fine-tuning mechanisms to classify COVID-19 from chest X-ray images. We presented one classical and two new fine-tuning mechanisms to increase the model’s performance. Two publicly available databases were combined and used for the study, which included 3616 COVID-19 and 1576 normal (healthy) and 4265 pneumonia X-ray images. The models achieved average accuracy rates of 95.62%, 96.10%, and 97.61%, respectively, for 3-class cases with fivefold cross-validation. Numerical results show that the third model reduced 81.92% of the total fine-tuning operations and achieved better results. The proposed approach is quite efficient compared with other state-of-the-art methods of detecting COVID-19.
