AI Algorithm Found Very Effective At Detecting COVID-19 Chest Infections

In this study published in Radiology, Northwestern University researchers presented DeepCOVID-XR, an ensemble deep learning artificial intelligence algorithm to detect COVID-19 on chest radiographs. DeepCOVID-XR was trained and tested on, a very large clinical dataset of chest radiographs from the COVID-19 era.

Using the consensus radiologist interpretation as the reference standard, DeepCOVID-XR was rated 0.95, suggesting this AI algorithm was similar to a consensus of experienced thoracic radiologists.
