Abstrakt: COVID-19, is a dangerous disease, that is widely spread among humans by inhalation of the virus, and it harms and may damage the lung. The aim of this paper is to detect COVID-19 using our new algorithm called "Cascade-Correlation Growing Deep Learning Neural Network Algorithm (CCGDLNN)" from Computed tomography (CT) scan images of a patient's chest. We apply the algorithm over 48,260 computed tomography scan images from 377 persons divided into 282 normal persons and 95 patients were infected by COVID-19. Our system is divided into two stages: Firstly, the system removes unclear computed tomography-scan lung images by analyzing them. Secondly, we run our algorithm based on the exception model that begins with a small network without any hidden layers but has input and output layers only. The algorithm after that, adds new neurons and connects them to the last layer or add a new layer with one neuron. Finally, after performing these two stages, the system can be able to detect COVID-19 patients from their lung computed tomography-scan images. We train the data using two different models and compared the results with our model. In the image classification process, our model achieved 98.8% accuracy on more than 7996 test images.
