Abstract

AIM: Currently, a new coronavirus called COVID-19 is the biggest challenge of the human at 21st century. Now, the spread of this virus is such that mortality has risen strongly in all cities of countries. Therefore, it is necessary to think of a solution to handle the disease by fast and timely diagnosis. This paper proposes a method that uses chest X-ray imagery to divide 2-4 classes into 7 different Scenarios, including Bacterial, Viral, Healthy, and COVID-19 classes. The aim of this study is to propose a method that uses chest X-ray imagery to divide 2-4 classes into 7 different Scenarios, including Bacterial, Viral, Healthy, and COVID-19 classes.
