A systematic review of multilabel chest X-ray classification using deep learning

Chest X-ray scans are one of the most often used diagnostic tools for identifying chest diseases. However, identifying diseases in X-ray images needs experienced technicians and is frequently noted as a time-consuming process with varying levels of interpretation. In particular circumstances, disease identification through images is a challenge for human observers. Recent advances in deep learning have opened up new possibilities for using this technique to diagnose diseases. However, further implementation requires prior knowledge of strategy and appropriate architecture design. Revealing this information, will enable faster implementation and encounter potential issues produced by specific designs, especially in multilabel classification, which is challenging compared to single-label tasks. This systematic review of all the approaches published in the literature will assist researchers in developing improved methods of whole chest disease detection. The study focuses on the deep learning methods, publically accessible datasets, hyperparameters, and performance metrics employed by various researchers in classifying multilabel chest X-ray images. The findings of this study provide a complete overview of the current state of the art, highlighting significant practical aspects of the approaches studied. Distinctive results highlighting the potential enhancements and beneficial uses of deep learning in multilabel chest disease identification are presented.
