Abstract

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: The traditional method of detecting COVID-19 disease mainly rely on the interpretation of computer tomography (CT) or X-ray images (X-ray) by doctors or professional researchers to identify whether it is COVID-19 disease, which is easy to cause identification mistakes. In this study, the technology of convolutional neural network is expected to be able to efficiently and accurately identify the COVID-19 disease.
