The contamination by SARS-CoV-2 which causes the COVID-19 disease has generally spread everywhere throughout the world since the start of 2020. On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (WHO) proclaimed a worldwide health crisis. Analysts of various orders work alongside general health authorities to comprehend the SARS-CoV-2 pathogenesis and together with the policymakers direly create techniques to control the spread of this new disease.
Recent findings have observed imaging patterns on computed tomography (CT) for patients infected by SARS-CoV-2.
In this research, we have used a public available SARS-COV-2 Ct-Scan Dataset, containing 1252 CT scans that are positive for SARS-CoV-2 infection (COVID-19) and 1230 CT scans for patients non-infected by SARS-CoV-2. This dataset of CT scans for SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) identification is created by our collaborators, Plamenlancaster: Professor Plamen Angelov from Lancaster University/ Centre Director @ Lira, & his researcher, Eduardo Soares PhD.
The SARS-CoV-2 xDNN Classifier by Nitin Mane is an open-source implementation of an xPlainable Deep Neural Network (xDNN) classifier. Inspired by SARS-CoV-2 CT-scan dataset: A large dataset of real patients CT scans for SARS-CoV-2 identification by Eduardo Soares, Plamen Angelov, Sarah Biaso, Michele Higa Froes, Daniel Kanda Abe.
This project shows how eXplainable Deep Neural Networks can be used on the HIAS network to provide real-time SARS-CoV-2 classifications to HIAS applications and devices.
The SARS-CoV-2 xDNN Classifier is based on the work of our collaborators, Plamenlancaster: Professor Plamen Angelov from Lancaster University/ Centre Director @ Lira, & his researcher, Eduardo Soares PhD
- Medrxiv: SARS-CoV-2 CT-scan dataset: A large dataset of real patients CT scans for SARS-CoV-2 identification - Eduardo Soares, Plamen Angelov, Sarah Biaso, Michele Higa Froes, Daniel Kanda Abe.
The motivation behind this project was to create an xPlainable Deep Neural Network based on the architectures proposed in SARS-CoV-2 CT-scan dataset: A large dataset of real patients CT scans for SARS-CoV-2 identification.
The goal is to see how xPlainable Deep Learning can be integrated into the HIAS network and provide real-time classifications for SARS-CoV-2.
This project should be used for research purposes only. The purpose of the project is to show the potential of Artificial Intelligence for medical support systems such as diagnosis systems.
Although the classifier is accurate and shows good results both on paper and in real world testing, it is not meant to be an alternative to professional medical diagnosis.
Developers that have contributed to this repository have experience in using Artificial Intelligence for detecting certain types of cancer. They are not doctors, medical or cancer experts.
