ABSTRACT
This work presents a fully automatic system for the screening of chest X-ray images from portable devices under the analysis of three different clinical categories normal, pathological cases of pulmonary diseases with findings similar to those of COVID-19, and COVID-19 cases. Our methodology was validated using a dataset retrieved specifically for this study, which was provided by the Radiology Service of the Complexo Hospitalario Universitario A Coruña (CHUAC). Despite the poor quality conditions of chest X-ray images acquired by portable devices, satisfactory results were obtained, demonstrating the robustness and great potential of the proposed system to help front-line clinicians in the diagnosis and treatment of patients with COVID-19.
