Researchers at the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, US are developing a new artificial intelligence (AI) technique to improve the speed at which computed tomography (CT) scans can identify patients with Covid-19.
Difficulty accessing tests means some hospitals are using CT scans to search for visual signs of the disease, such as ground glass opacities, to diagnose the condition. Radiologists have been working overtime to screen them all, but deep learning could help drastically speed up the process and reduce this burden.
