Abstract

Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant use cases to improve patient care, particularly in medical image analysis. This study aims to develop a deep-learning model for disease classification in medical images and compare its performance in four-class MRI and two-class X-ray classification tasks. We utilize Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) for diagnosing pneumonia from chest X-rays and various tumors from brain MRIs, leveraging transfer learning to improve performance. Transfer learning, which reuses pre-trained models like VGG-16, is more efficient than building models from scratch. The VGG-16 model, pre-trained on over a million ImageNet images, achieved 92.7% accuracy. By fine-tuning, we reached 93.6% accuracy. Data augmentation techniques, such as flipping, rotation, and brightness adjustments, further enhance classification accuracy and performance.
