We present CovidAID (Covid AI Detector), a PyTorch (python3) based implementation, to identify COVID-19 cases from X-Ray images. The model takes as input a chest X-Ray image and outputs the probability scores for 4 classes (NORMAL, Bacterial Pneumonia, Viral Pneumonia and COVID-19).

It is based on CheXNet (and it's reimplementation by arnoweng).

Please refer to INSTALL.md for installation.

CovidAID uses the covid-chestxray-dataset for COVID-19 X-Ray images and chest-xray-pneumonia dataset for data on Pneumonia and Normal lung X-Ray images.

Chest X-Ray image distribution

Chest X-Ray patient distribution

Please refer our paper paper for description of architecture and method. Refer to GETTING_STARTED.md for detailed examples and abstract usage for training the models and running inference.

We present the results in terms of both the per-class AUROC (Area under ROC curve) on the lines of CheXNet, as well as confusion matrix formed by treating the most confident class prediction as the final prediction. We obtain a mean AUROC of 0.9738 (4-class configuration).

To demonstrate the results qualitatively, we generate saliency maps for our model’s predictions using RISE. The purpose of these visualizations was to have an additional check to rule out model over-fitting as well as to validate whether the regions of attention correspond to the right features from a radiologist’s perspective. Below are some of the saliency maps on COVID-19 positive X-rays.
