CAD4COVID-CT

Thirona

The CAD4COVID-CT software is based on deep learning technology to analyze Chest CT scans for abnormalities related to COVID-19. The software takes as input a Chest CT scan in dicom format. The input scan is checked for quality and the following outputs are produced: 1) The lobes are segmented and a lobe volume measurement is provided. 2) For each lobe, the affected area percentage is computed and summarized in a lobar severity score, ranging from [0-5]. 3) The overal CT severity score and affected area are computed from the 5 lobar analyses. All output is summarized in a output PDF report.
