  • COVID-19 Case
  • Of the four x-ray images, where is the finding?
  • All cases underwent a de-identification process when received, thus no history or content can be provided regarding patient.

If you selected Case #3, then you are correct!
All other cases are normal!

Lets see what our Lunit AI found:

Discussion

With massive COVID-19 outbreaks, there is a shortage of medical resources, therefore limiting timely testing of RT-PCR (confirmatory test). Chest radiography (CR) constitutes a fast and relatively inexpensive imaging modality for finding lesions in the lungs.

INSIGHT CXR can be used as a triage & monitoring tool and significantly reducing the burden on clinicians and radiologists in a sudden surge of suspected COVID-19 patients.

Screening & Monitoring workflow
