COVID-19 screening project takes another big step

Wednesday, January 27, 2021

Researchers at Waterloo Engineering have taken another step forward in their open-source COVID-19 project with the release of new datasets and an artificial intelligence (AI) model that was built using them.

Launched in March, the initiative involves the use of deep-learning AI software to screen for evidence of infection in chest x-rays and CT scans.

The new datasets, released as part of the COVID-Net project, include CT scans from over 4,500 patients in more than 15 countries, making them the largest and most diverse resources of their kind in the world.
