Abstract

This paper presents a deep learning model that enables fast and accurate diagnosis of tuberculosis based on chest X-rays. The developed model uses convolutional neural network that enable the automatic classification of chest x-rays into one of two classes: Normal or Tuberculosis with a high degree of accuracy. The model achieved an accuracy of 97.55% on the test data set, indicating its potential to open new perspectives for medical professionals in establishing a tuberculosis diagnosis. This model can significantly speed up the diagnostic process, reducing the workload of medical workers and increasing their productivity in the fight against tuberculosis, one of the most common lung diseases.
