Covid-19 diagnosis technique using chest X-ray images developed by IIT Jodhpur
India Today
IIT Jodhpur researchers have developed a Covid-19 diagnosis technique using chest X-ray images.
IIT Jodhpur researchers have developed a special kind of X-Ray designed to detect Covid-19. IIT Jodhpur have proposed a deep learning-based algorithm called COMiT-Net, which learns the abnormalities present in the chest X-Ray images to differentiate between a Covid-19 affected lung and a non-COVID affected lung. The developed AI algorithm not only predicts whether the CXR has Covid-19 pneumonia or not, but it is also capable of identifying the infected regions in the lungs, thus making them explainable.
While there have been numerous research studies in Covid-19 detection using X-ray or CT scans in the past year, most of them have failed to provide an explainable solution. The uniqueness of this research and its salient features are as follows:
The proposed study can visually showcase the region which is infected.
The technique interprets only from the lung region.
The Artificial Intelligence solution used in this research is explainable from both algorithmic and medical points of view.
