🩻 Pneumonia Detection Model (CNN)

🧠 Overview

This model is a Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) trained to classify chest X-ray images as either Normal or Pneumonia.
It demonstrates the application of deep learning to medical imaging classification and serves as an educational and research tool — not for clinical use.

🧩 How It Works

1. The user uploads a chest X-ray image (.jpg or .png).
2. The image is resized to 150×150 pixels and normalized to [0, 1].
3. The CNN processes the image and outputs a probability:
   • 0 → Normal
   • 1 → Pneumonia
4. The final classification is the class with the highest confidence score.

💡 Example Usage

import tensorflow as tf import numpy as np from tensorflow.keras.preprocessing import image # Load model model = tf.keras.models.load_model("cnn_pneumonia.keras") # Load and preprocess image img_path = "test_image.jpg" img = image.load_img(img_path, target_size=(150, 150)) img_array = image.img_to_array(img) / 255.0 img_array = np.expand_dims(img_array, axis=0) # Predict prediction = model.predict(img_array)[0][0] label = "Pneumonia" if prediction > 0.5 else "Normal" confidence = prediction if prediction > 0.5 else 1 - prediction print(f"Prediction: {label} ({confidence:.2f} confidence)")
