Mass General using AI to analyze lung damage from COVID-19

Radiologists at Mass General are using AI to begin to analyze lung damage data from COVID-19 to predict the best treatment for patients. Nvidia DGX A100 accelerators are helping the task, which involves using X-ray images of lungs to be combined with radiology data from other clinical insights to predict outcomes for COVID patients, according to an Nvidia blog. Mass General Brigham used its own data to build the models. Once validated, they could be deployed in a hospital setting to track patient progress and offer treatment insights. Matthew D. Li, a radiology resident at Mass General and a member of the Martino Center QTIM Lab said there's information in radiologic images not available to doctors as they make treatment plans.
