Chinese artificial intelligence (AI) software developer Infervision has launched an AI application to help clinicians detect and monitor coronavirus (2019-nCoV) on CT scans.
The software has been in use at Tongji Hospital in Wuhan, China, along with sites in other cities, such as the Third People's Hospital of Shenzhen, according to the vendor. The application has been helping facilities with limited medical resources to immediately screen suspected Coronavirus-infected patients for further diagnosis and treatment, Infervision said.
The AI technology assists with pneumonia marking, abnormal and severe case analysis, patient triage, medical resources coordination, prior case comparison, and treatment assessment, according to the company.
![Axial images from unenhanced calcium score cardiac CT (left) and curved planar reformation images from CT angiography (right) show that higher long-term exposure to air pollution is associated with greater coronary artery calcium and more obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Top row: Images in a 68-year-old male patient with higher 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (7.9 μg/m3 for particulate matter measuring ≤2.5 μm in diameter [PM2.5] and 17.4 parts per billion [ppb] for NO2) with extensive CAD (coronary artery calcium score [CACS] >1,000 and obstructive CAD [≥70% diameter stenosis]). Bottom row: Images in a 57-year-old female patient with lower 10-year mean ambient air pollution exposure (6.3 μg/m3 for PM2.5 and 4.6 ppb for NO2) with no CAD (CACS = 0 and no obstructive stenosis).](https://img.auntminnie.com/mindful/smg/workspaces/default/uploads/2026/06/hanneman.r6SMLzkezo.png?auto=format%2Ccompress&dpr=2&fit=crop&h=167&q=70&w=250)
