Respiratory Diseases Detection using Machine Learning

Prediction of the Respiratory diseases in the earlier stage can be very useful specially to improve the survival rate of that patient. CT scan images are used to detect various lung diseases .These CT scan reports are sent to pathologists for further process. Pathologists analyze CT scan report and predict the infected tissues which are the main cause of the particular disease. This is lengthy process and to avoid this steps and increase the accuracy of the prediction Machine learning plays an important role . The system proposes to build "Predictive Diagnostic System" of infectious lung by using the concept of image processing in conjunction with machine learning. Proposed system will detect the disease from CT scan images and use preprocessing technique that will remove the noise and disturbance in image. Feature extraction process is applied to extract the useful features of underlying image, and feature selection technique will further optimize the top ranking features. CNN algorithm is then applied to classify the images for detection of Respiratory disease. After detection of disease, report will be generated and submitted to patient.
