Abstract

Tuberculosis (TB) is an infectious disease caused by the bacterium Mycobacterium tuberculosis, which mainly attacks the lung organs. One of the most commonly used methods of TB diagnosis is thorax X-ray imaging. The images of the examination results are visually analyzed by medical personnel to identify certain patterns or characteristics that indicate TB disease. However, the manual analysis process takes time and depends on the doctor's experience. Therefore, this study utilizes Artificial Intelligence (AI) technology as a diagnostic tool to provide alternative solutions that are faster and more efficient in determining TB status in patients. This study proposes the use of the Multi-Scale Convolutional Neural Network (CNN) method to classify tuberculosis disease based on thorax X-ray images. The data used was in the form of lung X-ray images that acted as inputs at the image processing stage. The dataset collected consisted of 790 images divided into two classes, namely normal lungs and lungs indicated by tuberculosis. The CNN architecture includes three convolutional layers with a kernel size of 3×3, three max pooling layers  of 2×2, and one fully connected layer with a softmax activation function. Each convolutional layer uses 128 filters, and the model learning process is optimized using the Adam Optimizer algorithm. The training process was carried out for 15 epochs and resulted in an accuracy rate of 81%. Furthermore, at the model evaluation stage, an accuracy of 79% was obtained, indicating that the proposed method has sufficient performance in classifying tuberculosis disease.
