Fast computer tool spots COVID changes in chest CTs — and tracks them over time
A new, fast computer method looks at chest CT scans and can tell when lungs show signs of coronavirus.
The team built a smart program that learns from many scans, it was trained with images from different places and then tested on real patients.
The tool can do rapid detection, measure small lung spots, and show them in a simple 3D view or heat map so doctors see where trouble is.
Over time the program makes a clear Corona score so you can watch if someone gets better or worse.
Tests showed very high accuracy in telling infected from not infected and the system caught most cases while keeping false alarms low.
This lets hospitals monitor patients faster, and helps doctors focus care where it is needed most.
The work is being expanded to more people, but already it shows computers can help in detection, measurement and patient monitoring.
It’s not a replacement for doctors, but a tool that makes their job quicker and clearer.
