Diagnosing COVID-19

Classification of Ground Glass Opacities in CT scans using CML

Summary

1. Chest CT has a high sensitivity for diagnosis of COVID-19.
2. Given the limitation in availability of PCR tests, CT scans represent a path to augmenting the existing diagnostic toolsets in the diagnosis of COVID-19
3. However, accuracy and Specificity of CT scans is limited.
4. To overcome this limitation, CT scans, can be augmented with patient chart data to validate
   • Acute viral symptomologies
   • Presentation absent non-COVID specific symptomologies

This repository demonstrates the use of Image classification to identify Ground Glass Opacities, in patients, for use in diagnosis.
