India TV NewsDRDO has developed an Artificial Intelligence algorithm that can detect the presence of COVID-19 disease in Chest X-rays. The ATMAN AI is an artificial intelligence tool for chest X-ray screening as triaging tool in COVID-19 diagnosis which is a method for rapid identification and assessment of lung involvement, according to a statement issued by HCG Academics on Friday. Chest X-Rays of RT-PCR positive hospitalised patients in various stages of disease involvement were retrospectively analysed using Artificial Intelligence models by an indigenously developed deep learning application by CAIR-DRDO for COVID-19 screening using digital chest X-rays. Director of CAIR, DRDO, U K Singh was quoted as saying:The development of ATMAN, an Artificial Intelligence-based diagnostic tool for Chest X-ray screening is a part of DRDOs effort to help clinicians and partners on the frontline to have the tools they need to rapidly diagnose and effectively treat COVID-19 patients." CEO of 5C network Kalyan Sivasailam said,We are excited to develop Atman AI for COVID detection in Chest X-rays.
