Abstract
Many countries are severely affected by COVID-19, and various casualties have been reported. Most countries have implemented full and partial lockdowns to control COVID-19. Paramedical employee infections are always a threatening discovery. Front-line paramedical employees might initially be at risk when observing and treating patients, who can contaminate them through respiratory secretions. If proper preventive measures are absent, front-line paramedical workers will be in danger of contamination and can become unintentional carriers to patients admitted in the hospital for other illnesses and treatments. Moreover, every country has limited testing capacity; therefore, a system is required which helps the doctor to directly check and analyze the patients’ blood structure. This study proposes a generalized adaptive deep learning model that helps the front-line paramedical employees to easily detect COVID-19 in different radiology domains. In this work, we designed a model using convolutional neural network in order to detect COVID-19 from X-ray, Computed Tomography (CT), and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) images. The proposed model has 27 layers (input, convolutional, max-pooling, dropout, flatten, dense, and output layers), which has been tested and validated on various radiology domains such as X-ray, CT, and MRI. For experiments, we utilized 70% of the dataset for training and 30% for testing against each dataset. The weighted average accuracies for the proposed model are 94%, 85%, and 86% on X-ray, CT, and MRI, respectively. The experiments show the significance of the model against state-of-the-art works.
