AI-assisted CT imaging analysis for COVID-19 screening: Building and deploying a medical AI system in four weeks

Category:

Topic:

  • The authors describe their experience in building and deploying an AI system in China that automatically analyzes CT images to detect COVID-19 pneumonia features for faster examination. They report high sensitivity (97%) and high specificity (92%) using the test dataset. 
  • Authors of another study on AI applications for COVID-19 provide a machine learning based diagnosis model using 620 lab samples, which could facilitate extensive COVID-19 screening.
