AI auto-scans lung X-rays for coronavirus

04/28/2020

Coronavirus can be identified automatically from sick patients’ lung X-rays using artificial intelligence (AI) developed at Brunel University London. The algorithm, which detects coronavirus diseases including COVID-19, SARS and MERS, uses image analytics to spot signs and deep learning to rank them. Image processing techniques enhance the targeted X-ray images and use an algorithm to create visual cues related to […]
