Impact of Interstitial Lung Diseases and COVID-19 on the body

ABSTRACT

Medical imaging techniques are often used in treatment and follow-ups for diagnosed diseases. Image scans provide quick acquisition of images and clear and precise information, along with a magnified view of a particular portion of the body. Chest images can demonstrate various lung disorders, such as, COVID-19, Interstitial Lung Diseases (ILD) and Chronic lung disease, Pneumonia, Bronchiectasis, Cystic Fibrosis, etc. However, subtle changes in the volume and character of lung abnormalities can be difficult to assess even by expert radiologists. This is where Artificial Intelligence (AI) comes in. AI can aid traditional medical imaging technology by offering computational prowess that process images with greater speed and precision. This work presents a solution that performs AI-empowered analysis of Chest image scans for diagnosis, tracking and prognosis of various lung diseases. © 2021 IEEE
