Lung Infection Quantification of COVID-19 in CT Images with Deep Learning

Understand

CT imaging is crucial for diagnosis, assessment and staging COVID-19 infection.

• Follow-up scans every 3-5 days are often recommended for disease progression.
• It has been reported that bilateral and peripheral ground glass opacification (GGO) with or without consolidation are predominant CT findings in COVID-19 patients.
• However, due to lack of computerized quantification tools, only qualitative impression and rough description of infected areas are currently used in radiological reports.
