A breakthrough new AI model is able to detect the presence of different lung diseases from ultrasound videos, with 96.57% accuracy, and it is even able to distinguish whether the abnormalities are due to pneumonia, COVID-19 or other conditions.QUOTE: Shafiabady noted that as long as the model is trained on the right data, it has the potential to further its lung-disease diagnostic abilities, picking up signs of tuberculosis, black lung, asthma, cancer, chronic lung disease and pulmonary fibrosis. And the researchers hope to adapt the model to be able to accurately assess more than ultrasounds, such as CT scans and X-rays.
