Initiative overview
To assist physicians in the diagnosis of COVID-19, an artificial intelligence application has been developed that diagnoses COVID-19 from Computed Tomography (CT) images. With this study, CT images are classified in a short time and give an idea to the physician within the scope of COVID-19 diagnosis. In addition to the classified disease, the volume occupied by the involvement in the lung is shown as a percentage and a heat map is created. In this context, Pneumonia, COVID-19 Positive and COVID-19 Negative statuses are determined according to the CT image of the patient. To increase the success of the model and to carry out test studies, the studies regarding the process continue with the data instantly transferred from City Hospitals. Studies on the application are ongoing, and when the integration of the developed application with the health institutions in our country is completed, physicians will save the time they spend to analyze the test results, and thus they will be able to spare more time for the patient.The initiative has the following objective:To assist physicians in the diagnosis of COVID-19 by saving the time they spend to analyze the test results and they will be able to spare more time for the patient.
