IITGn team develops AI-based tool to detect Covid-19 from chest X-ray

Indian Institute of Technology-Gandhinagar IITGn has developed an Artificial Intelligence-based tool to detect COVID-19 from Chest X-ray. This tool can be used for quick preliminary diagnosis before the medical test. AIR, Ahmedabad correspondent reports that the Artificial Intelligence-based tool has been developed by the researchers of the Computer Science and Engineering Department of IITGn. <br />'' <br />''AIR correspondent reports that according to official release of IITGn, the tool is developed by Kushpal Singh Yadav-an M.Tech student of Computer Science & Engineering under the guidance of Professor Krishna Prasad Miyapuram, Associate Professor of Cognitive Science and Computer Science at IITGn.<br />'' <br />''The system is now live as a web-interface on <a href="http://covidxray.iitgn.ac.in/" target="_blank" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=http://covidxray.iitgn.ac.in/&source=gmail&ust=1593675605102000&usg=AFQjCNFcPWA3ML3O3Y79geGHEQFrdChN8Q">covidxray.iitgn.ac.in/</a>. Any user can upload a digital copy of the chest x-ray or CT-scan in standard image formats such as jpeg, png etc and check whether he or she is COVID-19 positive or not. The format of any test image of a new person will be automatically transformed and diagnosed using the AI tool.<br />'' <br />''Prof Krishna Prasad Miyapuram and Kushpal Singh Yadav said that given the limited testing facilities for COVID-19, there is a rush to develop AI tools for quick analysis using x-rays. Developing a reliable tool requires the combination of right algorithms and data.<br />'' <br />''<span style="color: #222222;">IITGn researchers are collaborating with Dr. Deepak Saxena from the Indian Institute of Public Health IIPH, Gandhinagar for further testing of AI based tool.</span><br />
