With the arrival of Corona, scientists and doctors from all over the world started to find out the disease and find its treatment. In the last two years, many methods have been invented to identify the corona. Still, doctors and scientists are engaged in finding easy and effective ways to identify the corona living in the human body. Meanwhile, a group of scientists in Scotland has discovered a unique way of detecting the presence of corona virus disease infection in a person’s body. Scientists are using X-rays for this. In this test, Artificial Intelligence or AI gives information about the presence of virus inside a person.
Let us tell you that this test has been done by the scientists of the University of West Scotland (UWS) and they claim that it is 98 percent effective. This test is said to be faster and more effective than the PCR test. Professor Naeem Ramzan, who led the three-person team at UWS, said, “There has long been a need for a quick and reliable tool that can detect COVID-19, and this became even more true with the advent of the Omicron variant Is.”
The new technology uses X-ray technology to compare the scans to a database of nearly 3,000 images that pertain to COVID-19 patients, healthy individuals and viral pneumonia, according to UWS researchers who conducted the test. . In this, an artificial intelligence process in the form of Deep Convolutional Neural Networks uses an algorithm to analyze and diagnose visual imagery. UWS scientists found this technique to be more than 98 percent accurate. However, the group of scientists who conducted the test say that X-rays do not show Covid-19 symptoms during the early stages of infection, so it cannot completely replace PCR tests.
Let us tell you that Professor Ramzan said, “This could prove to be important and potentially life-saving when diagnosing severe cases of the virus, helping to determine what treatment may be needed.” Professor Milan Radosavljevic, now vice principal for Research, Innovation and Engagement at UWS, and another team member said they now plan to expand the study.
