Pneumonia is a disease which occurs in the lungs caused by a bacterial infection. Early diagnosis is an important factor in terms of the successful treatment process. Generally, the disease can be diagnosed from chest X-ray images by an expert radiologist. The diagnoses can be subjective for some reasons such as the appearance of disease which can be unclear in chest X-ray images or can be confused with other diseases. Therefore, computer-aided diagnosis systems are needed to guide the clinicians. In this study, we used two well-known convolutional neural network models Xception and Vgg16 for diagnosing of pneumonia. We used transfer learning and fine-tuning in our training stage. The test results showed that Vgg16 network exceed Xception network at the accuracy with 0.87%, 0.82% respectively. However, the Xception network achieved a more successful result in detecting pneumonia cases. As a result, we realized that every network has own special capabilities on the same dataset.
