Abstract
By the time of the abstract, the coronavirus COVID-19 is affecting 213 countries with more than 9.4 million cases, and more than 480 thousand deaths. In the US it has been confirmed that there are more than 2.4 million COVID-19 cases and approximately 123 thousand related deaths, according to Worldometer. The Wuhan originated COVID-19 has become a global challenge since late December 2019. As control measures lift, life and businesses start going to open, the coronavirus pandemic continues to grow. In this research, we propose a Deep Learning model that recognizes COVID-19 cases using X-ray images (DeepCOVID-19). The model would help physicians to be more confident by having a second opinion in assessing patients. An implementation of the model would help countries where there is shortage of test kits, while X-ray devices are widely available.
