• Abstract: The health and socioeconomic difficulties caused by the COVID-19 pandemic continues to cause enormous tensions around the world. In particular, this extraordinary surge in the number of cases has put considerable strain on health care systems around the world. A critical step in the treatment and management of COVID-19 positive patients is severity assessment, which is challenging even for expert radiologists given the subtleties at different stages of lung disease severity. Motivated by this challenge, we introduce COVID-Net CT-S, a suite of deep convolutional neural networks for predicting lung disease severity due to COVID-19 infection. More specifically, a 3D residual architecture design is leveraged to learn volumetric visual indicators characterizing the degree of COVID-19 lung disease severity. Experimental results using the patient cohort collected by the China National Center for Bioinformation (CNCB) showed that the proposed COVID-Net CT-S networks, by leveraging volumetric features, can achieve significantly improved severity assessment performance when compared to traditional severity assessment networks that learn and leverage 2D visual features to characterize COVID-19 severity.

  We introduce COVID-Net US, a highly efficient, self-attention deep convolutional neural network design tailored for COVID-19 screening from lung POCUS images. Experimental results show that the proposed COVID-Net US can achieve an AUC of over 0.98 while achieving 353X lower architectural complexity, 62X lower computational complexity, and 14.3X faster inference times on a Raspberry Pi. To advocate affordable healthcare and artificial intelligence for resource-constrained environments, we have made COVID-Net US open source and publicly available as part of the COVID-Net open source initiative.

  During pandemic era, visual assessment and quantification of COVID-19 lung lesions by expert radiologists become expensive and prone to error. This paper introduces an open access COVID-19 CT segmentation dataset containing 433 CT images from 82 patients that have been annotated by an expert radiologist. A Deep Neural Network (DNN)-based framework is proposed, referred to as the COVID-Rate, that autonomously segments lung abnormalities associated with COVID-19 from chest CT scans.

  We introduce COVID-Net CXR-S, a convolutional neural network for predicting the airspace severity of a SARS-CoV-2 positive patient based on a CXR image of the patient's chest. We leveraged transfer learning to transfer representational knowledge gained from over 16,000 CXR images from a multinational cohort of over 15,000 patient cases into a custom network architecture for severity assessment. The proposed COVID-Net CXR-S has potential to be a powerful tool for computer-aided severity assessment of CXR images of COVID-19 positive patients.

  We develop a new deep transfer learning pipeline to diagnose patients with COVID-19, pneumonia, and tuberculosis based on chest x-ray images. In our proposed model, we have created an extra layer with convolutional neural network blocks to combine these two models to establish superior performance over either model. We have tested the performance of our proposed network on two-class (pneumonia vs healthy), three-class (including COVID-19), and four-class (including tuberculosis) classification problems.
