Pneumonia is one of the lung conditions brought on by bacterial infections. An accurate diagnosis is necessary for successful treatment. A radiologist can typically diagnose the condition based on images from a chest X-ray. The diagnosis may be arbitrary for a variety of reasons, such as the indistinctness of certain diseases on chest X-ray pictures or the possibility of the illness being mistaken for another. Consequently, clinicians require guidance from computer-aided diagnosis tools. We diagnosed pneumonia using two algorithms CNN and GAN, as well as two architectures ResNet50V2 and InceptionV3. The test results show that the ResNet50V2 architecture is superior to the InceptionV3 architecture on the CNN algorithm with an accuracy of 94% versus 93%. In addition, the test results on the GANs algorithm show that the ResNet50V2 architecture is superior to the InceptionV3 architecture with an accuracy of 96%, while the InceptionV3 architecture achieves an accuracy of 92%.
