Abstract: Highlights•Presents an explainable deep learning system that predicts lung diseases from chest X-rays.•We compared 16 deep-learning methods for predicting lung disease from chest X-rays.•We explored interpretable algorithms for localizing disease regions from chest X-rays.•InceptionV3, factoring appropriate data augmentation, outperformed most approaches.
