Smart Lungs quantification of COVID-19 lung lesions
Marseille Public Hospitals reported COVID-19 lesion measurements in 10 seconds instead of about 15 minutes manually
Problem
Manual measurement of lung lesions on CT scans added work during a surge in COVID-19 patients. Radiologists needed faster quantification alongside their interpretation of the scans.
Approach
La Timone's radiology team developed Smart Lungs with the Marseille Institute of Mathematics. The model learned from manually annotated scans. With Nutanix's help, quantification results became available in real time across radiology-department computers.
Results
Takeaway
Automated lesion measurement fed into clinicians' assessment of disease progression. The hospital's timing claim concerned quantification, rather than the complete radiology examination.
