Abstract
BACKGROUND: Scanning a patient's lungs to detect Coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) may lead to similar imaging of other chest diseases. Thus, a multidisciplinary approach is strongly required to confirm the diagnosis. There are only a few works targeted at pathological x-ray images. Most of the works only target single disease detection which is not good enough. Some works have been provided for all classes. However, the results suffer due to lack of data for rare classes and data unbalancing problem.
