Scientists in Scotland are able to give 98 percent accurate results in a short time. X ray using Covid diagnostic test with artificial intelligence developed. University of West of Scotland (UWS) researchers said that this is how they can help healthcare personnel when PCR tests are not ready.
Professor, Director of Affective and Human Computing at UWS Naeem Ramzan and his team approximate the X-ray result. in two hours claimed that this program was able to detect the virus faster than the PCR test, due to the 98 percent correct the technique identified; It was developed with close to 3,000 images of Covid patients, healthy individuals and viral pneumonia patients.
A new drug has been authorized for the treatment of COVID-19!
The permission to develop the COVID-19 pill, which was given to Pfizer, the developer of the BioNTech vaccine, recently, has now been given to Merck.
Can Covid-19 be detected with X-ray?
According to the experts’ statement, X-ray technology for Covid-19 detection will use. Following this, the images will also be analyzed with the artificial intelligence process and the algorithm will be used to diagnose. Ramzan said the following on the subject:
“There has long been a need for a fast and reliable tool that can detect Covid-19, and this has become even more accurate with the rise of the Omicron variant. Some countries are unable to perform large numbers of Covid-19 tests due to limited diagnostic tools, but this technique uses readily available technology to quickly detect the virus.”
Director of Affective and Human Computing, on X-rays in the early stages of infection Covid-19 symptoms He added that it should not be forgotten that the technology cannot fully replace PCR tests.
“Especially PCR testscan still play an important role in detecting spreading viruses.” He said it can be life-saving when diagnosing serious virus cases and determining what treatment may be needed.
Meanwhile, Professor Milan Radosavljevic, Assistant Director of Research, Innovation and Engagement at UWS, said this is potentially game-changing research. “I am incredibly proud of the innovations showcased by our internationally renowned academics as UWS strives to find solutions to global problems.” said.
