AI Models for Chest Radiograph Analysis: Internal Clinical Trial vs. Gold Standards
Main Article Content
Abstract
Our vision is to develop an AI-based software which is capable of analyzing frontal PA chest X-rays for disease diagnosis, detection, and prediction through the analysis of several different X-ray manifestations and findings which are inter-correlated to arrive to a final result. We utilize state of-the-art AI, thereby facilitating in empowering of the world through our med-tech ecosystem. It is being developed with the intention of enhanced cardiopulmonary care, bridging the gaps in healthcare, by giving conclusive and comprehensive diagnosis at lower costs and reducing the number of unnecessary diagnostic tests which, often, serve as the main cause of the delay between diagnosis and treatment.
Why X-rays? X-rays have been chosen as the input because it is Non-invasive mode of diagnostic test, affordable, accessible and has much lesser radiation exposure compared to other imaging methods of CT, MRI, PET.
