New AI picks up 97% of lung diseases, and can tell pneumonia from COVID-19
A breakthrough new AI model is able to detect the presence of different lung diseases from ultrasound videos, with 96.57% accuracy, and it is even able to distinguish whether the abnormalities are due to pneumonia, COVID-19 or other conditions.
“The model also uses AI techniques to show radiologists why it made certain decisions, making it easier for them to trust and understand the results,” said study co-author Niusha Shafiabady, a professor at CDU. While the AI chatbots we can interact with now are not trained to clinically assess medical scans or tests at this stage, specific models are being developed across the board to be reliable tools in healthcare. While the tools are not intended to replace medical professionals – my skin-cancer specialist correctly identified the cancerous spot on my back before using the AI camera device – they are set to become the most beneficial and affordable technology we've ever seen in medicine.
