A Comprehensive Comparison of Deep Learning Architectures for COVID-19 Classification on CT & X-ray Imagery

arXiv:2605.20445v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: COVID-19 was a significant challenge that led to the loss of numerous lives daily. Not only a certain country was involved in this outbreak, but even the world has suffered because of the coronavirus. Imaging techniques using computed tomography (CT) and X-rays of the lungs are the most useful tools for the COVID-19 or any other pandemic disease screening process. Technology today has revolutionized the world by using artificial intelligence to replace manual processes with automated machines, which enable the system to imitate the human brain
