Key Results:

  • A deep learning method was able to identify COVID-19 on chest CT exams (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.96).
  • A deep learning method to identify community acquired pneumonia on chest CT exams (area under the receiver operating characteristic curve, 0.95).
  • There is overlap in the chest CT imaging findings of all viral pneumonias with other chest diseases that encourages a multidisciplinary approach to the final diagnosis used for patient treatment.

Abstract

Deep learning detects coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) and distinguishes it from community acquired pneumonia and other non-pneumonic lung diseases using chest CT.
