Japan-based mobile communications company Allm has released a collection of COVID-19 pneumonia chest CT images for free through its Join mobile app.
The app enables clinicians to view medical images for various modalities in an embedded DICOM viewer. The updated library includes a set of COVID-19 images created with help from medical institutions in Japan.
Each case in the COVID-19 library comes with data on patient symptoms and progress, and the company intends to regularly update the image set. Allm created the library as a tool to improve diagnostic accuracy and educate medical staff and students about COVID-19 pneumonia.
Interested healthcare professionals who work at medical institutions in Japan or abroad can request free Join access by emailing [email protected]. Existing users can also request free access by emailing the account with their Join ID/email address, name, medical institution, and department.
