Deep learning-based model for detecting 2019 novel coronavirus pneumonia on high-resolution computed tomography: a prospective study

Category: Article Summary

Topic: Testing and Treatment

• A new deep learning-based system was found to have 100% sensitivity and 93.55% specificity (PPV 84.62%) in detecting COVID-19 from CT scans. The model performed comparably to an expert radiologist, and combined with expert review the model decreased CT reading time by 65%.
