AI detection of mild COVID-19 pneumonia from chest CT scans.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

An artificial intelligence model was adopted to identify mild COVID-19 pneumonia from computed tomography (CT) volumes, and its diagnostic performance was then evaluated.

Methods

In this retrospective multicenter study, an atrous convolution-based deep learning model was established for the computer-assisted diagnosis of mild COVID-19 pneumonia. The dataset included 2087 chest CT exams collected from four hospitals between 1 January 2019 and 31 May 2020. The true positive rate, true negative rate, receiver operating characteristic curve, area under the curve (AUC) and convolutional feature map were used to evaluate the model.

Results

The proposed deep learning model was trained on 1538 patients and tested on an independent testing cohort of 549 patients. Th
