Explainable AI: Visualizing Deep Learning Based Pneumonia and Other Lung Diseases Detection Using Chest X-Ray Scans

Early and accurate detection of lung diseases such as Pneumonia, Tuberculosis, COVID-19, and Lung Cancer is crucial for timely medical intervention. This project presents an intelligent, explainable deep-learning–based web application that analyzes chest X-ray images and provides disease classification along with visual explanations to improve trust and interpretability. A Convolutional Neural Network (ResNet-based model) is trained to classify lung conditions, and the system integrates Explainable AI (XAI) techniques—Grad-CAM and LIME—to highlight the specific regions in the X-ray that influence the prediction. These visual explanations help doctors and users understand why the model makes a particular decision.
