Abstract – In this paper, we propose a COVID-19 Chest X-Ray Analyzer tool that uses deep learning for diagnostics of primarily COVID-19 disease. The tool is designed to be a supportive tool for radiologists and healthcare professionals who are overburdened by the increasing number of COVID-19 patients worldwide. The tool can predict the probability of three diseases namely COVID-19, Pneumonia and Normal with an accuracy of above 95%. In addition to predicted probabilities of the diseases the tool can also provide a visual explanation – Why they predict, what they predict. The visual explanation of the model prediction will reduce the gap between the deep learning researchers and healthcare professionals unlike the black box approach of AI tools. The main challenge to develop such AI tool is the availability of enough data for model training.
