Pneumonia Detection Software

Pneumonia is an infection that leads to inflammation and fluid accumulation within the pulmonary system. Pneumonia can be caused by bacterial, fungal or viral infection. Pneumonia causes breathing difficulties as the air sacs in the lungs might be filled with fluid or pus. It can lead to fever and coughing, often accompanied by the production of yellow, green or even bloody mucus. Pneumonia is a major cause of death throughout the globe. Pneumonia diagnosis is done using an X-ray of the lungs. Pneumonia detection software can detect pneumonia in early stages which can lead to lower mortality rates. With advanced deep learning neural networks such as CNN, Xray images can be classified as pneumonic or non-pneumonic. This can be integrated into a software package that can work across different systems to help people detect pneumonia with just their lung X-rays.
