    The initial criterion for identifying lung disorders is chest radiographs. The three major lung illnesses that pose the greatest threat to public health are tuberculosis, pneumonia, and lung cancer. Chest X-ray diagnosis of pulmonary illnesses is a challenging undertaking that requires high experience. In rural places, it can be difficult to locate skilled radiologists. Due to the high frequency of TB and lung cancer radiological similarities, many individuals with lung cancer are initially misdiagnosed as having TB and treated incorrectly. According to a recent WHO survey, millions of people die each year as a result of delayed or incorrect diagnoses of lung diseases. This death rate can be reduced, by early detection of certain disorders. This paper proposes a system with 4 main components; Image processing of chest X-rays to identify the disease using Convolutional Neural networks; Predicting the probability of having LC or TB using multivariate data classification techniques; Recommending medicine and related information to support the decision-making process using gaussian naïve bayes, logistic regression model and decision tree classification methods; Visualizing the X-ray image using Augmented Reality.
