Study Description
Brief Summary
The aim of the study is to asses the influence of computer aided diagnostic to the process of lung affection quantification on computer tomography in COVID-19 confirmed patients.

Detailed Description
The lung involvement of COVID-19 patients has been showed to be correlated to clinical outcomes and became part of the clinical practice. Even though various scores can be used, the affection estimation is usually done on computer tomography, using radiologists's estimation skills which is a highly subjective process.
Artificial intelligence is a known objective constant and therefore a potential radiologist complement. This trial aims at studying the effect of using a computer aided diagnostic software integrated in the normal clinical practice of radiologists from Timisoara County Emergency Hospital. It uses the AI-PROBE analysis setup, which turns off the CAD outputs for randomly chosen 50% the cases (control) and then compares the radiological reports for differences between the two arms.
Study Design
Arms and Interventions
Arm | Intervention/Treatment |
---|---|
Experimental: CAD analysis The XVision COVID-19 computer aided diagnostic software is used by radiologist at CT analysis time |
Diagnostic Test: CAD analysis
CAD shows the radiologist automatically delineated areas of potential COVID-19 affection, together with an overall lung affection percentage.
|
No Intervention: No CAD analysis No CAD analysis is shown to radiologist. |
Outcome Measures
Primary Outcome Measures
- Mean difference of lung affection quantification percentage [At CT acquisition time, up to 2 weeks]
The objective measurement of lung affection percentage is measured against pixel level labels. A lower difference mean better outcome.
