• Abstract summary: We provide open source models for the segmentation of patterns of pulmonary opacification on chest Computed Tomography (CT) scans. We have collected 663 chest CT scans of COVID-19 patients from healthcare centers around the world. Our best model achieves an opacity Intersection-Over-Union score of 0.76 on our test set, demonstrates successful domain adaptation, and predicts the volume of opacification within 1.7% of expert radiologists.

• Abstract: The Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has rapidly spread into a global pandemic. A form of pneumonia, presenting as opacities with in a patient's lungs, is the most common presentation associated with this virus, and great attention has gone into how these changes relate to patient morbidity and mortality. In this work we provide open source models for the segmentation of patterns of pulmonary opacification on chest Computed Tomography (CT) scans which have been correlated with various stages and severities of infection. We have collected 663 chest CT scans of COVID-19 patients from healthcare centers around the world, and created pixel wise segmentation labels for nearly 25,000 slices that segment 6 different patterns of pulmonary opacification. We provide open source implementations and pre-trained weights for multiple segmentation models trained on our dataset. Our best model achieves an opacity Intersection-Over-Union score of 0.76 on our test set, demonstrates successful domain adaptation, and predicts the volume of opacification within 1.7\% of expert radiologists. Additionally, we present an analysis of the inter-observer variability inherent to this task, and propose methods for appropriate probabilistic approaches.

  1028 chest CT image of patients with positive swab were segmented automatically for lung extraction. A Gaussian model was applied to calculate quantitative metrics (QM) describing well-aerated and ill portions of the lungs. Radiomic features (RF) of first and second order were extracted from bilateral lungs. Four artificial intelligence-based models for classifying patients with COVID and non-COVID viral pneumonia were developed.

  Diseased lung regions often produce high-density zones on CT images, limiting an algorithm's execution to specify damaged lobes. This impact motivated developing an improved machine learning method to segment lung lobes. The approach can be readily adopted in the clinical setting as a robust tool for radiologists.

The use of medical imaging such as chest X-ray (CXR) and chest Computed Tomography (CCT) have proved to be an excellent solution. We propose an ensemble classifier based on probabilistic Support Vector Machine (SVM) in order to identify pneumonia patterns.
