The world seems to have overcome the Covid pandemic. But the fear has not left yet. New infections are reported almost every day. New subspecies and variants of virus are being found in some countries.
In this situation, the diagnosis of Covid is very important, in terms of treatment and prevention of infection. Australian researchers recently claimed to have developed an AI system that can detect Covid-19 from chest X-rays with more than 98 percent accuracy.
This test is claimed to be the fastest.
The current method of testing for Covid-19 is the IT-PCR test. It is known that this x-ray test is going to be more successful than that.
Chest X-rays are portable, available everywhere, and have less exposure to ionizing radiation than CT scans. As a result, it is going to be very beneficial, researchers claim.
