Virtual imaging trials could optimize COVID-19 imaging
By Erik L. Ridley
Researchers have created computerized models of lung abnormalities on CT scans of patients with COVID-19, according to an August 28 study in the American Journal of Roentgenology. The virtual imaging models can be used like computerized phantoms for research into the use of imaging to detect and monitor the disease.

AI algorithm may be generalizable for spotting COVID-19
By Erik L. Ridley
An artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm trained on a large, multinational dataset can be highly accurate for identifying COVID-19 pneumonia on chest CT scans, according to research published online August 14 in Nature Communications. It can also be highly specific for non-COVID-19-related pneumonias.
