“Chest X-ray Supportive Detection System” in AILabs, the first TFDA approved AI-based X ray supportive detection system for COVID-19
Dr. Cheng in National Taiwan University Hospital has developed an AI based “Chest X-ray Supportive Detection System” with Taiwan AILAbs. This AI system can automatically detect the suspected area of COVID -19 infection in chest X-ray (CXR), reveal it by heatmap, and actively warn the medical staff about the suspicious cases. The accuracy of this model is up to 91.78%. It can be used, alongside PCR testing and rapid antigen tests, as a fast diagnostic tool to detect COVID-19. The TFDA had gave approval for commercialization of the AI system on a special basis (TFDA/EUA). The strength of the model is summarized in the following:
• Approved by TFDA/EUA in Taiwan, CE in Europe
• The accuracy is up to 91.78%
• Used in patients with lower respiratory tract symptoms as a fast detection tool
• Integrated with the PACS(Picture Archiving and Communication System) in most hospitals
