A GROUP of 11 researchers from Multimedia University (MMU) has added a new weapon in the fight against the pandemic, and simultaneously bagged a silver medal at the Malaysia Technology Expo (MTE) 2020 Special Edition – Covid-19 International Innovation Awards with their “COV_CTX: Lung CT-Scans and X-Rays Artificial Intelligence Enabled Analyser for Covid-19 Cases” system.

The innovative web and app-based system uses artificial intelligence (AI) to analyse images of lung x-rays and CT-scans for signs of Covid-19 infection as images of the lungs are recommended by the World Health Organisation (WHO) as an alternative diagnostic tool and for clinical management of Covid-19 patients, said the varsity in a press release.
