Coronavirus (CoV) is a large family of viruses that cause illness ranging from the common cold to more severe diseases such as Middle East Respiratory Syndrome (MERS-CoV) and Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV). This paper aims to improve the accuracy of detection for CT-Coronavirus images using deep learning for Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) that helps medical staffs for classification chest CT- Coronavirus medical image in early stage. Deep learning is successfully used as a tool for machine learning, where the CNNs are capable of automatically extracting and learning features medical image dataset. This research retrains GoogleNet CNN architecture over the COVIDCT-Dataset for classification CT- Coronavirus image. In this research, COVIDCT-Dataset contains 349 CT images containing clinical findings of COVID-19. The validation accuracy of retraining GoogleNet is 82.14% where elapsed time is 74 min and 37 sec.}, journal = {Journal of Computer Science}, publisher = {Science Publications} }
