This article is a Preprint
Preprints are preliminary research reports that have not been certified by peer review. They should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Preprints posted online allow authors to receive rapid feedback and the entire scientific community can appraise the work for themselves and respond appropriately. Those comments are posted alongside the preprints for anyone to read them and serve as a post publication assessment.

ABSTRACT
In medical practice, the contribution of information technology can be considerable. Most of these practices include the images that medical assistance uses to identify different pathologies of the human body. One of them is X-ray images which cover much of our work in this paper. Chest x-rays have played an important role in Covid 19 identification and diagnosis. The Covid 19 virus has been declared a global pandemic since 2020 after the first case found in Wuhan China in December 2019. Our goal in this project is to be able to classify different chest X-ray images containing Covid 19, viral pneumonia, lung opacity and normal images. We used CNN architecture and different pre-trained models. The best result is obtained by the use of the ResNet 18 architecture with 94.1% accuracy. We also note that The GPU execution time is optimal in the case of AlexNet but what requires our attention is that the pretrained models converge much faster than the CNN. The time saving is very considerable. With these results not only will solve the diagnosis time for patients, but will provide an interesting tool for practitioners, thus helping them in times of strong pandemic in particular.
