BEIJING, Oct. 16 (Xinhua) -- Chinese researchers published a paper in the journal Nature Communications earlier this month proposing an artificial intelligence model that can help doctors quickly differentiate between COVID-19, influenza, and pneumonia with high accuracy.
Since the COVID-19 outbreak, numerous AI systems have been developed and used for frontline detection and diagnoses, such as analyzing chest X-rays and CT scans. However, with flu season approaching, if COVID-19 and influenza were to break out together, causing the CT diagnosis workload to skyrocket, differentiating between the two respiratory illnesses would prove challenging for doctors.
