<![CDATA[Tuberculosis(TBC) remains a major global health issue, with millions of new cases reported annually. Early and accurate diagnosis is essential, but manual interpretation of chest X-ray(CXR) images is limited by subjectivity and resource constrains. This study applies the MobileNetV2 architecture using transfer learning to classify tuberculosis from CXR images. The publicly available Tuberculosis Chest X-ray dataset containing 4200 images was divided into training (70%), validation (15%), and testing (15%). The pretrained MobileNetV2 model on ImageNet was used as the base network, with additional classification layers and training through the Adam optimizer and early stopping. The model achieved a validation accuracy above 99.84% after the second epoch maintained stable performance. Once the test set, model reached 99.84% accuracy, with precision 99.53% and recall 99.90% for the tuberculosis class. The result demonstrate that the transfer learning with MobileNetV2 provides a fast, efficient, and highly accurate method for tuberculosis detection. This model show potential for integration into Computer-Aided Diagnosis (CAD) system in low resource clinical settings.]]>
