Artificial intelligence has the potential to enhance the role of chest imaging and leverage large-scale data to quickly find solutions for detecting, containing, and treating COVID-19, according to a new report by a team at Johns Hopkins Medicine.
Chest imaging is not currently a standard method for diagnosing COVID-19, but the technology has helped providers exclude other possible causes for COVID-19-like symptoms, confirming a diagnosis made by another means, or providing critical data for monitoring a patient’s progress.
Researchers argued that these efforts aren’t comprehensive enough, as AI has the power to enhance chest imaging beyond just screening for signs of COVID-19 in a patient’s lungs.
