Comparison of some CNN architectures for detecting cardiomegaly from chest X-ray images
In medical image analysis, deep learning and convolutional neural networks (CNN) are widely employed, particularly in tasks such as classification and segmentation. This study specifically addresses their application in healthcare for detecting cardiomegaly, a condition characterized by an enlarged heart, often related to factors such as hypertension or coronary artery diseases. The primary objective is to develop an algorithm to identify cardiomegaly in chest X-ray images, constituting a binary classification problem (whether the image exhibits cardiomegaly or not).
