Role of Artificial Intelligence in Medical Imaging for Accelerated Response in Dual Pandemics of TB and Covid-19
Journal Title: Public Health Open Access - Year 2021, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
The world is facing dual pandemics of TB and Covid-19 simultaneously. Digital Chest X-ray is the mainstay for screening chest TB. In community setting for TB screening, its likely that Covid-19 and similar community acquired pneumonia are likely to be detected. The key milestones of TB elimination need recalibration under the shadow of Covid-19 pandemic. Technological innovations like deep learning or computer assisted detection (CAD) can assist in instant screening and triage for TB in such situations. Innovative solutions like these have the potential to reduce the burden on the healthcare ecosystem and ensure access to healthcare imaging to the global population. Organizations will need to think through well while deploying and integrating these solutions seamlessly in the existing workflows. Organizations should understand the challenges AI solutions face and have safeguards to mitigate these risks. Reliable technological solutions are the best hope mankind has to empower experts and ensure imaging is accessible, affordable and available to all.
