Abstract:
Despite the development of vaccines and the emergence of various treatments for COVID-19, the number of confirmed cases of the coronavirus disease (COVID-19) is increasing worldwide, and it is unlikely that the disease will ever disappear completely. Having a non-contact remote testing system can improve the workload of health-care centers and contribute to reducing the infection by recommending early self-isolation for those who suffer from a cough. In the proposed system, patients can upload an audio cough recording via mobile phones through the suggested Cough/X-ray/CT website and then receive the diagnosis within seconds on the same phone. Moreover, in the case of infection, the health center and the community are informed in addition to automatically calling the mobile phones of the injured cases. The higher proposed accuracy with deep cough training was achieved on the ResNet152v2 model after converting the cough signal into an image using the Mel-spectrogram, where the accuracy was 99.95%, the sensitivity was 100%, and the specificity was 99%.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
